Idiom: fry the fish in its own oil?
or fry the pork in its own oil. do you know any similar idioms?
it's not about money. it's about using a person to hurt him by himself, to hurt a country by using its own citizens or politicians, it's like to stew someone in his/her own juice (but not quite this way). http://idioms.thefreedictionary.com/stew+in+own+ju...

It's all Greek to me
At the drop of a hat
Barking up the wrong tree
He can't cut the mustard
It was a feeding frenzy
Getting down to brass tacks
He's getting long in the tooth
Sick as a dog
I smell a rat
Made from scratch
(Just where do I find this scratch? LOL!)
That was the last straw
Make no bones about it
Letting the cat out of the bag
They just had a field day
Don't look a gift horse in the mouth
She has a chip on her shoulder
Back seat driver
Stuck between a rock & a hard place
Back to square one
It's a piece of cake
Just a drop in the bucket
High as a kite
Jump the gun
Pay the piper
It's a whole new ball game
A little bird told me
Don't be a cold fish
He can really cut a rug
Every dog has it's day
That's a horse of a different color
It's nothing to sneeze at
Wag the dog
I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop
Walk on eggshells
Don't waste your breath
He's pulling your leg
Kick the bucket
Many Blessings!
