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