weather the storm
walk away
go through fire and water
walk away from
stand
go the distance
cut it fine
dodge a bullet
checkmate
give someone a bloody nose
manage
venture
take something in stride
make short work of
take a risk
give one's all
go hard or go home
fuck
turn the corner
weather
save one's skin
hurdle
feel free
fend for oneself
walk on broken glass
take the easy way out
undistress
devastate
go for broke
sweep aside
throw caution to the wind
keep one's nose clean
hit
baffle
cart away
save the day
no-sell
lash oneself to the mast
whistle past the graveyard
push string uphill
prosecute
beat the daylights out of
beat the poop out of
clean someone's clock
beat the shit out of
