“bränna broar”

tala i nattmössan

to talk nonsense, to mumble

få bakläxa

to suffer a setback

vara kvar på ruta ett

to be back at square one

sitta som en smäck

to fit perfectly

vara i sitt esse

to be in one's element

Ha många järn i elden

To be busy with many projects at once.

gå på knäna

to be worn out

ha något i bakfickan

to have something in reserve
