Help Nice-Up Some Words

Hey ya meerkats,

I feel pretty sorry for this guy.  He took on a hard job of making some violent idioms nicer, and it made him feel feelings inside.  Here are the ones he couldn’t muster:

Please make these nicer, won’t you?  Leave your best revisions in the comments.  Some may become illustrated.

-Drew

UPDATE: You guys are amazing.  That is way more nice metaphors than I expected.  I drew some of them just now, and put them into comment-replies.  If I haven’t drawn yours yet, I’m sorry.  There are far too many for ME to muster.
