Improve each shining hour
Improves with age
In a 'round about way
In a blue funk

It is frequently more economical to be inefficient.

Stick a fork in him, he's done
Stick in the mud
Stickler for the rules
Sticks to the ribs
Stick to it like glue
Stick to the story
Stick to your guns
Stick to your last
Stick your neck out
Sticky wicket
Stiffer than a 2 peckered billy goat
Stiffer than a June Brides dream
Still water runs dirty and deep.
Still waters run deep
Stir up a fuss
Stir up a hornet's nest
Stomp around like an elephant
Stonewall it
Stop crying or I'll give you something to cry about
Stop milking a dead cow
Stop on a dime
Stop the music
Straight from the horse's mouth
Straight from the shoulder
Straight off the farm
Strain at a gnat and swallow a camel
Stray off the reservation
Stream of consciousness
Strike while the iron is hot
String along
Strong as a lion
Strut around like a banty rooster with your chest puffed out
Stuffed shirt
Stuff it
Stung to the quick
Stupid is as stupid does
Success is a journey not a destination.
Such is life, and it's getting sucher and sucher
Sucking hind teat
Suffer in silence
Sunday driver
Survival of the fittest
Swallow your pride
Sweating like a whore in church
Sweep it under the carpet
Sweep it under the rug
Sweep the series
Sweet as apple pie
Sweetness and light
Swept off his feet
Swim like a fish
T
Tail wagging the dog
Take a chill pill
Take a hike (go away)
Take a lick
Take a licking and keep on ticking
Take a long walk off a short pier
Take a rain-check
Take a shine to
Take a slow boat to china.
Take a timeout
Take a walk on the wild side
Take him down to a peg
Take it or leave it
Take it with a grain of salt
Take pen in hand
Takes on a life of its own
Take the bit in his teeth
Take the bitter with sweet
Take the rough with the smooth
Take the veil
Take the wind out of his sails
Talk 'till your blue in the face
Talk in circles
Talking about apples and oranges
Talk it up
Talks like he has a mouth full of shit
Tan your hide
Tarred with the same brush
Tear your hair
Teeth as white as pearls
Tell a white lie
Tell me who your friends are and I'll tell you who you are
Tell that to the Marines
Tempest in a teapot
That's a piece of cake
That's enough to piss off the good humor man!
That's his ticket out of here
That's like preaching to the choir
That's not a bald spot, it's a solar panel for a sex machine.
That's not cricket
That's the story of my life
That's the way the cookie crumbles
That's water under the bridge
That and $x can buy you y [where y is an item costing $x]
That boy is about as sharp as a bowling ball
That does the trick
That dog will hunt.
That was old when God was a kid
That went over like a pregnant pole vaulter
That which does not kill us makes us stronger
That will be the day when I die
That will turn your head
The American way
The Birds and The Bees
The Pen is mightier than the sword.
The almighty dollar
The ball's in your court
The best-laid schemes
The best of all possible worlds
The best of friends make the worst of enemies
The best things in life are free
The bigger they come, the harder they fall
The blind leading the blind
The boss is always right, even when he's wrong.
The bottom line
The cat's whisker
The check is in the mail
The chickens come home to roost
The chips are down
The clickety-clack of the railroad track
The coast is clear
The conventional wisdom
The dark side of the moon
The defensive side of the ball
The devil you know is better than the devil you don't know.
The door of opportunity
The early bird catches the worm
The enemy is at the gate
The eternal triangle
The eternal verities
The fair sex
The fat is in the fire
The game is not worth the candle
The game is worth the candle
The grass is always greener
The inexperience of youth
Their name is legion
The is FUBAR (Fucked Up Beyond All Repair)
The kiss of death
The law is an ass
The left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing
The light at the end of the tunnel
The light at the end of the tunnel is the headlight of a train.
The lights are on but no one's home
The long and the short of it
The love of money is the root of all evil
The moon is made of green cheese
The more's the pity
The more the merrier
The more things change, the more they stay the same
The night of all nights
The noises sounded like they were coming from a zoo
The older the violin, the sweeter the music
The play's the thing
The pot calling the grass green
The pot calling the kettle black
The power behind the throne
The price of success
The quiet before the storm
The race is not to the swift
There's more than one way to kill a cat than choking it with butter.
There's more than one way to kill a cat than to drown it in cream
There's more than one way to skin a cat
There's no "I" in "team"
There's no business like show business
There's no defense like a good offense
There's no fool like an old fool
There's no point crying over spilled milk
There's no time like the present
The real thing
There are ears in the corn field
There are lies, damned lies and statistics
There are many ears in the cornfield.
There are two sides to every question
There but for the grace of God go I
There is a light at the end of the tunnel
There is a thin line between love and hate
There is harmony in disharmony
There is more meat on a chicken's forehead!
There is no place like home
There will be another one
There will come a day when all the work is finished or when it is too late to finish it
The road of life (and endless variations)
The shit hit the fan
The shoe is on the other foot
The sky's the limit
The slings of arrows of outrageous fortune
The spirit is willing but the flesh is weak
The squeaking wheel gets the grease
The staff of life
The sun always shines after the rain
The sun don't shine on the same dog's behind everyday
The tales will be long and many
The third degree
The time is out of joint
The time is ripe
The time of your life
The toes you step on today just might be connected to the ass you kiss tomorrow.
The truth is out there
The truth will set you free
The waiting is the hardest part
The wheel is turning but the hamster is dead
The whole box and dice
The whole enchilada
The whole kit and caboodle
The whole nine yards
The world goes to shit when I don't do this first
The world is my oyster
The writing's on the wall
They devoured him like a pack of wolves
Thick and fast
Thick as a brick
Thick as the hair on a dogs back
Thick as thieves
Thin edge of the wedge
Things are hopping
Things that go bump in the night
Thin red line
This is a process of eliminating options
This is a turd hunt
This neck of the woods
This too, shall pass
Thorn in the side
Those who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.
Three sheets in the wind
Through thick and thin
Throw a wrench in the works
Throw caution to the winds
Throwing out the Baby with the Bath Water
Throw light on
Throw modesty to the winds
Throws like a girl
Throw the baby out with the bathwater
Ticket to stardom
Tickle your fancy
Tied to the apron strings
Tienes nalgas de mejoral
Tie the knot
Tie up some loose ends
Tight as a drum
Tight as a tick
Tighten your belt
Tighter than Dick's hat band.
Tighter than a bulls ass
Tighter than the skin on a weiner
Tighter than two coats of paint
Tilt at windmills
Time and tide wait for no man
Time and time again
Time flies
Time has passed him by
Time heals all wounds
Time is a cure
Time is money
Time is of the essence.
Time is what keeps everything from happening at once
Time on my hands
Time out of mind
Times are changing
Time to kill
Time will tell
Time wounds all heels.
Tip of the iceberg
Tit for tat
Tit in the wringer
To all intents and purposes
To be at sixes and sevens
To be in fine fettle
To coin a phrase
Today is the first day of the rest of your life
To each his own like the man who kissed the cow
Toe the line
To everything there is a season
To fish in troubled waters
To get a red ass over something
To have a bone to pick with you
To have a knack for it
To have half a mind
Tomorrow is another day
Tongue-in-cheek
Too big for his britches
Too drunk to drive
Too many cooks spoil the broth
Too many irons in the fire
Too much Sanity is madness, but the maddest of all is to see life as it is and not as it should be.
Too much of a good thing
Too tired to sleep
Top of the morning to you
To pour oil on troubled waters
To stick in one's craw
To the best of my ability
To the bitter end
Tough as nails
Tough it out

Up against it
Up and down like a toilet seat at a mixed party
Uphill battle
Up in arms
Up the river
Up to my neck in alligators
Up to the hilt

Useful as a screen door on a submarine

Well I'll be a money's uncle
Well nigh
We might as well get our ears wet
We need a level playing field.

Young enough to be his daughter

Your barn door is open.
Your desk looks like an explosion in a paper factory.
