I will give you the meaning of these sayings and you give me the original sayings.
I will give you the number of words and the first letter of each word.

Ex:Speak of an issue (mostly current) which many people are talking about and which is usually disputed.
3 words, a,h,p, answer is A hot potato.

-1.A way of asking what someone is thinking. 5, a,p,f,y,t

-2.People's intentions can be judged better by what they do than what they say. 5, a,s,l,t,w

-3.To further a loss with mockery or indignity; to worsen an unfavorable situation. 4, a,i,t,i

-4.Meaning: without any hesitation; instantly. 6, a,t,d,o,a,h

5.When an attempt fails and it's time to start all over. 5, b,t,t,d,b

6.Looking in the wrong place. Accusing the wrong person. 5, b,u,t,w,t

-7.Avoiding the main topic. Not speaking directly about the issue. 4, b,a,t,b

8.To take on a task that is way to big. 7, b,o,m,t,y,c,c

-9.To work late into the night, alluding to the time before electric lighting. 4, b,t,m,o

10.Being Inquisitive can lead you into an unpleasant situation. 4, c,k,t,c
