Put an end-stop
Put behind bars-imprisoned
Run of the mill ordinary
Retapism -official delay
Second nature-habit
Second to none -the best
Serves no purpose-useless

Take place-happen
Take to ones heels-run away
Thank ones star-be grateful

To the brim-full
To the core completely
To nip in the bud- to destroy a thing at the very beginning
Turn a blind eye to-ignore
