Cut to the chase
to beat around the bush
To get to the point
to successfully chase a person
to shoot from point blank range
Stiff upper lip
to be born in England
To keep your emotions to yourself
to be adament
To be theatrical in your reaction
Look a gift horse in the mouth
To reject a free gift
To doubt the quality of something received for free
To suddenly have a surreal feeling
To desire to become an equestrian
