От горшка два вершка

Пройти огни и воды и медные трубы

Держать в ежовых рукавицах

Мастер на все руки

Ходить на задних лапках

Жить как у христа за пазухой

Откуда ни возьмись

Не могу взять в толк

Не вешай нос!

Ищи ветра в поле

Через пень-колоду

Ума палата

Бабушка надвое сказала

Бить баклуши

Ни богу свечка, ни черту кочерга

Метать громы и молнии

Море по колено

Он звезд с неба не хватает.
