My social life is as dead as a doornail.

The business world would chew you up and spit you out.

You could have knocked me over with a feather.

He is the apple of my eye.

The party died as soon as she left.

The food made me as sick as a dog.

The computer in the classroom was a dinosaur.

I am dying of shame.

That brownie is calling my name

The stairs groaned as we climbed up.

I have told you that a thousand times.

During the accident, he remained as cool as a cucumber.

The flowers are begging for water.

The children's eyes gleamed like pearls.

The audience was glued to their seats.

That test was the easiest in the world.

That quarterback can run like the wind.

This homework is a breeze.

The United States is a melting pot of ideas and cultures.
