knee-high to a grasshopper   a piece of cake  raining cats and dogs   pins and needles  as red as a beetroot  a frog in your throat  back teeth   thin as a rake  couch potato  to cost the earth other fish to fry   to promise the earth   lost property   strong as a horse       April showers

We must not forget  les faux amis, but that’s another story!
