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