talkpoliticsI guess you can totally see which pic portrays which common colloquialism...
A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush... A can of worms... A chain is only as strong as its weakest link... A fly in the ointment...
A leopard cannot change its stripes... A little birdie told me... A cesspool... A picture is worth a thousand words...
A pig in the poke... All that glitters is not gold... Bat shit crazy... Caught between a hard place and a rock...
Drier than a popcorn fart... Dumb as a sack of rocks... Half hearted... Has the cat got your tongue?...
Heard it through the grapevine... Hell in a handbasket... Law of the land... Slippery slope...
Like a chicken with its head cut off... Long in the tooth... My cup of tea... The left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing.

Unless its like True Grit, because horses can emerge from rivers completely dry in that universe.

Graceful as a pig on ice
Elephant in the room
Google-fu
Put that in your pipe and smoke it!
Put my money where my mouth is
Hook, line and sinker
