1. CRUNCH TIME: the period of time just before
a project has to be completed and everyone has to work hard: "I’m not
getting enough sleep these days. It’s crunch time at work".
2. LET YOUR FREAK FLAG FLY: to let others see your
uniqueness: "My
colleagues were surprised at the Christmas party- I let my freak flag
fly and showed them a break dance routine".
3. GET OUT OF HAND: when you lose control of
things, they get out of hand: "The party
got out of hand and
the guests started to throw bottles at each other".
