Time for some fun.....

Post an Idiom in Spanish AND its English equivalent. The catch? Your idiom must start with the last letter of the previous idiom.

Let me start....

Prometer la luna (According to the phrasebook, this means to promise impossible things)

So, the next idiom must start with 'A'

Good luck!

The last one ends in O, right, so I'm starting with an O.
