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