Burst into tears
Burn the midnight oil
Hold your ground
Pull one's leg
Within a stone's throw
A golden opportunity
Bone of contention
Dog in the manger
To stay up working, especially studying, late at night.
An excellent opportunity that is not likely to be repeated
To begin to cry suddenly
To refuse to move backwards, especially when you are being attacked
The subject or point of an argument
To kid, fool, or trick someone
One who prevents others from enjoying something despite having no use for it.
Very close to something
