CLICHE COVER II

May, 1988 (Pictured on cover)

Barking up the wrong tree
Crying wolf
Out on a limb
The walls have ears
Fly on the wall
Fly in the ointment
Head in the clouds
On Cloud Nine
In the bag
House of cards
Toe the line
Straight and narrow
Walk on eggs

Stick to your guns
Have a finger in every pie
Have one foot in the grave
Straight arrow
Put your money where your mouth is
Money talks
Snake in the grass
Full of beans
Cat and mouse
Cards on the tabel
Under the table
Pigheaded
Pull a rabbit out of a hat
Pain in the neck
Fish story
Fish out of water

Button your lip
Have a bee in your bonnet
Talk through your hat
Bend someone's ear
Talk turkey
Cut corners
Square meal
Little pitchers have big ears
Nail in the coffin
Pay the piper
Shoot fish in a barrel
Take candy from a baby
Out of the frying pan and into the fire
Fly off the handle
Cut through red tape
All thumbs

Hard-boiled
Half-baked
Chock-full
Take a powder
On the lam
Roll with the punches
Shoulder to the wheel
Run of the mill
Salt of the earth
At the drop of a hat
Sink your teeth into
Handle with kid gloves
Take the bull by the horns
Didn't bat an eye
Cat got your tongue?
Change of heart
Bone to pick
Neck of the woods
Back to square one
Back to the drawing board

Additions sent in by GAMES readers:
The end is near
Short on time
Time is on our side
One-track mind
End of the line
Icing on the cake
Blow your top
Fish out of water
Holding the bag
Bursting at the seams
