in a coon's age
in a flash
in dribs and drabs
in the nick of time
in time
it ain't over till it's over
it is better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all
it never fails
just in time
kill an elephant
kill time
lean times
let the good times roll
little by little
lollygag
long time no see
lose time
make good time
make hay while the sun shines
mean streak
nine times out of ten
no rush
on the clock
on the dot
on the spot
on time
once in a blue moon
once upon a time
one by one
one hell of a time
open season
pinpoint
put in time
put you through the mill
rise to the occasion
roll around
save a bundle
save for a rainy day
saw sawdust
seller's market
sharp
slo mo
sound bite
spend time
split second
strike while the iron is hot
take advantage of
take pains
take time to smell the roses
take your time
talk your ear off
the bitter end
the breaking point
the calm before the storm
the crunch
