Water under the bridge

Kiss and tell

I am only being honest

Beauty is as beauty does

Off your rocker

A penny for your thoughts

Sticks and stones will break my bones but names will never hurt me

"Mind your Ps and Qs."

 

"Monkey see, monkey do."

 

"The Devil's sitting on it with his tail."

 

My maternal Grandma would say this when she couldn't find something that she was looking for. I think that this was an old German saying.

 

"It's your baby, you can rock it." When something is someone else's problem.

 

Similar to the above: "Not my circus, not my monkeys."
