Cutting Corners.jpg

The solution to this Rebus Puzzle is "cutting corners," a common phrase we use to mean "taking damaging shortcuts with work etc."

Head over Heels.jpg

Notice how the word "head" is at the top and the word "heels" is at the bottom with a line in between? The solution to this Rebus Puzzle is "Head over Heels." We use this phrase to represent strong affection, such as: I am head over heels in love with this yogurt!
