A jaundiced eye

He was undecided. He <u><em>let the grass grow under his feet</em></u>.

I <u><em>ran out</em></u> of money on my European tour.

Adam's ale

Though he has a lot of money, yet all his plans are <u><em>built upon sand</em></u>.

You cannot <u><em>throw dust into my eyes</em></u>.

To hold something in leash

To oil the knocker

To have one's heart in one's boots
