working for you ( Verizon Wireless advertising slogan )
What You Want is What You
Get
( McDonald's advertising slogan )
What you see is what you
get
What's the catch?
When the going gets tough, the tough
get
going ( A catchphrase from Joseph Kennedy )
When the oak is before the ash, then you will only
get
a splash; when the ash
When you are in a hole,
stop
digging
Where's the catch?
Win lose or
draw
Wind someone up ( deliberately
draw
attention to something that will create agitation )
Winnie the Pooh ( children's
book
by A A Milne )
Would not
get
out of bed for
Would you believe ... ( A catchphrase from
Get
Smart )
Wuthering Heights ( Emily Bronte
book
)
You Can't Always
Get
What You Want ( The Rolling Stone song )
You aren't obliged to say anything
You can always
get
it at the Co-op ( Co-op advertising slogan )
You can't
get
blood out of a stone
You can't
get
there from here
You can't tell a
book
by looking at its cover
You
catch
more flies with honey than with vinegar
You couldn't
catch
a monkey with a shotgun and a sack
You don't
get
a second chance at a first impression
You
get
a big delight in every bite of Hostess snacks ( Hostess advertising slogan )
You
get
what you pay for
You have the right to remain silent
You only
get
one chance to make a first impression
You'll
get
shot
You'll
get
square eyes
