Animalisms... What other terms derive from parts of an animal, like 'wing it', or 'hoof it'? [closed]
Solution 1:
Some of these are pushing the definition, I'm sure, but... You can:
- hightail it out of here.
- beef something up (or have a beef with someone).
- nose around.
- feather your nest.
- shank a ball.
- paw someone.
- go into hock.
- ham it up.
- keep abreast of something.
Solution 2:
A detective may tail a suspect.
