What ever floats your boat
She's a cuckoo
take a leaf out of his book
It’s par for the course
You don’t ‘dispose something’. You ‘dispose of’ something
When you say that you puttered around, what you mean is that you spent your time doing little things which weren’t really important;The expression ‘putter about’ is mostly used in American English. The British, on the other hand, say ‘potter about’. They both mean the same thing
Baying for: After the Mumbai blasts people are baying for the terrorists' blood.
Crowing about/Crow over: When someone crows about something, he talks very proudly about something that he has done. He is rather vain about it, and you find it very annoying
The proof of the pudding is in its eating: Don't judge a book by its cover
to separate the wheat from the chaff; to sort the goats and the sheap
When you sojourn somewhere, you stay in that place for a short while; the stay is usually temporary
