“ Down to the Nitty-Gritty “

by Suzán Jiván Mom
& Mom-Mom Suzán

Down to the nitty-gritty
out on a limb
with bells and whistles
get the picture
the plot thickens
in principle
pure and simple
read my lips
riotous living
in round figures
running a tight ship
run-of-the-mill
self-willed
short-shrift
sidekicks
the size of it
thick skinned
a slap on the wrist
let something slip
like a slip of the tongue
while snapping something up
no sooner said than done ...
