Put to the sword

Pull the other one, it’s got brass bells on

Polishing peanuts

Pen is mightier than the sword

Parrot fashion

On the tip of your tongue

Put to the sword

Pull the other one, it’s got brass bells on

Polishing peanuts

Pen is mightier than the sword

Parrot fashion

On the tip of your tongue

Mum’s the word

Mince words

Mark my words

Man of his word

Lip service

Hay is for horses

From the word go

Freudian Slip

Flowery speech

Fine words butter no parsnips

Famous last words

Fall on your sword

Eat your words

Double-edged sword

Cross swords

By word of mouth

By heart

Broke as a joke and it ain’t funny

Beat swords into ploughshares

Actions speak louder than words

A picture is worth a thousand words

They that live by the sword shall perish by the sword

Those who kill by the sword shall perish by the sword
