I like this idiom

" You beat me to it "
You use it to mean that someone was first to do something that has been already in your mind

: Example

Let's go for a walk -
I was about to ask you the same thing , but you beat me to it -

" ! You made your bed ; now lie in it "
" is another way of saying : " You reap what you sow

and for those who do not know the meaning of either one of them , it means that : You must bear the negative consequences of your decisions

" Pardon my French "
is used as an apology for swearing . Especially when you use bad words among people you hardly know or you highly respect

When you say " This person is the next of kin " , it means that he/she is related to you by blood , or they are legally related to you . They can be your parents , or your siblings , or your life partner

! Hey there
I'm really thankful for your contribution

On the contrary , I enjoy adding idioms every time I come across one . I need a reminder even for myself , because I happen to have a bad memory
