AS COOL AS A CUCUMBER // GOT IT IN THE BAG


  • If you are as cool as a cucumber, then you are calm and untroubled by stress. 



  • If you've got it in the bag, then you are certain you can accomplish a task.


Example

Max: Is Marie worried abou her finals?

Jim: No. She's as cool as a cucumber. She's sure she's got it in the bag.
