at the end of the day

the last/final straw

by the skin of my/his/her/your teeth

water under the bridge

saved by the bell

the pot calling the kettle black

sour grapes

the writing is on the wall

make a mountain out of a molehill

at the eleventh hour/eleventh-hour

live from hand to mouth

be part and parcel of something

in the long run

tip of the iceberg

in the nick of time

on the horizon

hinge on something/contingent on something

bear/face the brunt of something

by virtue of something/by dint of something
