Sometimes I like to take a word and see how many short
phrases I can come up with that use it. I chose HAND
this time. I won’t list words that have hand as part of it -
like ‘handsome’, but I will use the plural and past tenses.
I tried to avoid nouns. How many more can you think of?

Hand over fist Hand delivered
Hand made *******

Steady hand Force your hand
Hold hands Lay hands on
On every hand On the other hand

Take in hand Try your hand
Throw up your hands Wash your hands of

On hand * Off hand * In hand * Out of hand
