Keep up with the Joneses Bark up the wrong tree Bang your head against a brick wall Battle it out Be at a dead end Be at pains to do something Be behind the times Be behind bars Be beside the point Be beside yourself (with grief, anxiety etc) Be past caring Be down in the dumps Be down in the mouth Be down on your luck Be down and out Be out of fashion Be in the picture Be in the wrong Be in at the kill Be quick off the mark Be on the ball Be on the safe side Be out of your depth Be out of your mind Be all over the place Be up for auction Be up in the clouds Beat your brains out Blow the cobwebs away Let off steam Break out in a cold sweat Bring the house down Burn yourself out Come into your own Get away from it all Get your own back Get hold of the wrong end of the stick Get a grip Go for a Burton Keep your nose to the grindstone Make up for lost time Put the cat among the canaries/pigeons Put the cart before the horse
I took these from the Oxford Dictionary of Current Idiomatic English Volume 1: Verbs with Prepositions and Particles.

i think i shall use some of those. i particularly like "put the cat among the pigeons". there are loads of vague ones now, but they seem to be the people's favourite!
a question - what on earth does "go for a Burton" mean? i've never heard of that one before.
