BP has two wrong. #3 should be 'spilt' milk, not 'spilled', and #17 should be 'skating' on thin ice, not 'walking'. 'Walking on Thin Ice' is the title of a Yoko Ono song and a TV series.

I knew most of these if not all of them. This quiz wants you to write out the whole phrase. You should have to only put in the missing word so I didn't do the quiz.

This quiz is broken. It is marking me wrong for including a period at the end of my rewritten answer.
