IDIOMS-1

A month of Sundays - a long period of time: I haven't played guitar in a month of Sundays.

Average Joe - a very ordinary person: Its very tough for an Average Joe to survive in a competitive world.

By the skin of your teeth - just manage to do something,near to failing: I passed my Biology exam by the skin of my teeth.

Burning daylight - wasting time: Stop burning daylight,and engage yourself in some productive job.

Busman's holiday - spend your free time doing the same work that you do in your job: Since the time my manager issued me an office laptop,the weekends have become Busman's holiday for me.
