While learning English with idioms is not for beginners, two of my enthusiastic students are up for anything. On a unit about personality traits, I brought in a few examples of idioms to describe people (on the list were down to earth, daydreamer, out of one's mind, teacher's pet, cry-baby and others.) What do you think these two are?
Guess the English language idioms!

Should have been more clear! The two boards represent two different idioms, each of which can be used to describe a person's personality. I'll give you a clue for the one on the left - a synonym could be "a talker"

OK, then is the first one "big mouth"? Still working on the second one. At first I was trying to find 2 idioms and was stumped, then I thought the two together made one, hence "happy as a lark" (which would be a simile rather than an idiom). I'm still pondering the second.
