Hacer leña del árbol caído

Un árbol cae en el medio del bosque. Tal vez fue talado, o tal vez fue derribado por una fuerte tormenta. Sin sus raíces dentro de la tierra, el pobre árbol muere. Luego aparece un hombre, feliz de no tener que talar su propio árbol, y comienza a darle con el hacha hasta convertirlo en leña, que después utilizará para hacer un fuego.

On the tip of your tongue

To stick your neck out for someone

Where there's smoke, there's fire

Don't air your dirty laundry in public

To be broke

When it rains it pours

Between a rock and a hard place

The calm after the storm

A wolf in sheep's clothing

A bad seed never dies

To pull the rug out from under someone

To kill the messenger

Bad hair day

To be mad as a hatter

To have one's blood boil

To be a tough nut to crack

To be a scapegoat

To bury your head in the sand

Damned if you do, damned if you don't

Double edged sword

Hanging by a thread

A bitter pill to swallow

To be at the end of one's rope

All hell breaks loose

To have an Achilles heel

To burn one's bridges

The lion's den

To kick someone when they're down

Come hell or high water

To destroy / debunk

To add insult to injury

To stand in the line of fire

To lick your wounds

All hell breaks loose

To stir the hornets' nest

Rub salt in a wound / Touch a sore spot

Cry a river

To be at each other's throats

To sweat blood
