That snake in the grass is barking up the wrong tree.
Stop beating a dead horse to death.
I would not have gone in there over my dead body.
I do hope that you don't think I've been making a mountain out of a mole hole, but that's the whole kettle of fish in a nutshell.
We both had crew cuts, which made our ears stick out like sore thumbs.

From now on, I'm watching everything you do with a fine-tuned comb.
That guy's out to butter his own nest.
He threw a wet towel on the meeting.
We've got to be careful about getting too many cooks into this soup, or somebody's going to think there's dirty work behind the crossroads.
