wouldn't trade you for a farm in Georgia
he let the cat out of the bag
I'm dog tired
Let sleeping dogs lie
If you sleep with dogs you'll get fleas
Fighting like cats and dogs
over the hill
going to he$$ in a hand basket
top dog
top gun
keep your friends close and your enemies closer

life's a journey

w.e floats ur boat
if u lay with sleeping dogs ull get fleas
break a leg
its raiing cats nd dogs
butterflies in ur stomach
stuck between a rock and a hard place
tkae lifer as it comes
take the bull by hte horns
the apple doenst fall from teh tree
the best thigns in life are free
teh biggger they are the harder they fall
teh calm before the storm
the darkest hours are jsut before dawn
teh devil dances in empty pockets
the early bird catches the worm
the end doesnt justify the means
the more the merrier
the pen is mightiers then the sword
the pot calling the kettle black
the prrof is in teh pudding
the road to hell is paved with good intentions
teh skys the limit

i do believe you mean idioms, seeing as figures of speech are things such as similes and metaphors.
however.
over the hill
dog-eat-dog world
raining cats and dogs
i'm dog-tired
ants in my pants
as easy as pie
at the eleventh hour
piece of cake
i'm all ears
up and running
beat around the bush
bent out of show
bit offf more than i can chew
i could eat a horse i'm so hungry
blabber mouth
the bottom line
break a leg
you broke my heart
bull-headed
but hey, those are only just a few.
here's the source vvvv

loose lips sink ships,
its all good in the neighborhood
bury the hatchet
picking the fly **** out of pepper
kettle calling the cauldron black
roll with the punches
water under the bridge
tongue and cheek
like a knife through butter
