Different industries have coined many phrases for things which sell well. This American simile which came into use in the middle of the nineteenth century is still the most widely used. For a twist in meaning there&s &Selling like cold hot cakes& from The Last Good Kiss by James Crumley.Sold [books by nineteenth century author Karl May] like pancakes topped by wild blueberries and heavy cream &Vincent Canby, New York Times, June 25, 1986Sold like picks and pans in a gold rush &Robert Guenther, Wall Street Journal, August 6, 1986Success is as ice cold and lonely as the North Pole &Vicki Baum
See Also: Success is feminine and like a woman, if you cringe before her, she will override you &William Faulkner
Faulkner expanded on this simile still further: &So the way to treat her is to show her the back of your hand. Then maybe she will do the crawling.&Success on some men looks

The drawing board in question is the type used by draftsmen, architects, engineers, etc., for blueprints and such schematic designs. A similar phrase is back to square one, by analogy to a games board. Its meaning is the same&&We&ve got to start all over, from the very beginning.&bite the dust See .[one&s] cake is dough One&s project or undertaking has failed, one&s expectations or hopes one never has any luck. A cake which comes out of the oven as dough is clearly a total failure. Shakespeare used this now obsolete proverbial expression in The Taming of the Shrew (V, i):M but I&ll in among the rest,Out of hope of all but my share of the feast.damp squib An enterprise that was to have been a great success, a dud. In this British colloquialism, squib is another name for a firecracker. If it is damp, it will not explode as expected. It may fizzle or, in some cases, turn out to be a dud.flash in the pan An instant but short- a brief, intense effort that yields no a failure after an impressive beginning. This expression refers to the occasional misfiring of the old flintlock rifles which caused a flash, or sudden burst of flame, as the gunpowder in the pan burned instead of exploding and discharging a bullet. The expression appears in an 1802 military dictionary edited by Charles James:Flash in the pan, an explosion of gunpowder without any communication beyond the touch-hole.go belly up See .goose egg A term used figuratively for lack of suc an instance of not scoring or of missing a point, so-called from the slang term for the numeral &0.& As far back as the 14th century, things were compared to goose eggs because of a similarity in shape and size. By the mid-1800s, the term was used in scoring at athletic contests.At this stage of the game our opponents had fourteen runs&we had five large &goose eggs& as our share. (Wilkes& Spirit of Times, July 14, 1866)Goose egg can also be used as a verb.I now had twenty-two consecutive World Series innings in which I goose-egged the National League. (Saturday Evening Post, February 28, 1948)go up in smoke To come to naught, to to be unsuccessful, also to end up in smoke and other variants.One might let him scheme and talk, hoping it might all end in smoke. (Jane Welsh Carlyle, New Letters and Memorials, 1853)Use of this self-evident expression dates from the 17th century.lay an egg To flop or bomb, especially when performin to fail miserably. During World War I, lay an egg was Air Force terminology for &drop a bomb,& egg probably being associated with bomb because of its similar shape. In addition, egg or goose egg is common slang for &zero, cipher,& also because of their similar shapes. Thus, to lay an egg is &to bomb& (figuratively), or to produce a large zero, i.e., nothing in terms of a favorable response from an audience, supervisor, or other persons evaluating a performance.You would just as well come wearing a shell if you ever took a job [singing] in a spot like this, that is how big an egg you would lay. (John O&Hara, Pal Joey, 1939)lead balloon A failure, fiasco, an attempt to entertain or communicate that fails to elicit a desirable response. This phrase is relatively new, having appeared in print no earlier that the mid-1900s. Lead balloon was originally heard in the verb phrase to go over like a lead balloon, an obvious hyperbolic expression for failing miserably. Today the phrase is used alone substantively or adjectivally. Thus, a joke, plan, etc., can be called a &lead balloon.&What the Dickens? was a lead balloon literary quiz wherein the experts showed only how little they knew. (Sunday Times, April 19, 1970)lemon An object something that fails to meet expectations. This expression alludes to the lemons painted on the reels of slot machines or &one-armed bandits.& Whenever a lemon appears on one of the reels, regardless of what appears on the other reels, the gambler automatically loses his money. Lemon was in popular use by 1905, less than ten years after slot machines were invented. The expression remains almost ubiquitous, particularly in its most common current application, i.e., in reference to automobiles which experience almost constant mechanical difficulties.Mechanics are less than delighted to see lines of lemons converging on their service departments. (Saturday Review, June 17, 1972)See also one-armed bandit, .lose one&s shirt To be financially devastated. This common expression implies that a shirt is the last of one&s possessions to be lost in a financial upheaval.a miss is as good as a mile A proverb implying that it does not matter how close one comes to hitting or attaining a goal, a near miss is still a miss, a near success is still a failure, etc. This expression is probably a corruption of an earlier, more explicit adage, &An inch in a miss is as good as an ell.& (An ell is a in England, 45 inches.) It has also been suggested that the original expression was &Amis is as good as Amile,& alluding to two of Charlemagne&s soldiers who were both heroes, both martyrs, and both saints&thus, to many people, they were virtually indistinguishable.He was very near being a poet&but a miss is as good as a mile, and he always fell short of the mark. (Sir Walter Scott, Journal, 1825)miss the boat To miss out on something by arriving too late, to lose an o t also to miss the bus. These phrases bring to mind the image of someone arriving at the dock or bus stop just in time to see the boat or bus leaving without him. Although both expressions date from approximately the early part of this century, to miss the boat is by far the more common.Some firms were missing the boat because their managements were not prepared to be adventurous. (The Times, March, 1973)my Venus turns out a whelp See .take a bath To be ruined financially, to lose everything, t usually used in reference to a specific financial venture. This figurative American slang use of to take a bath, meaning &to be stripped of all one&s possessions,& plays on one&s physical nakedness when bathing.washed out To have met with failu disqualified from social, athletic, or scholastic pursuits. One theory suggests that this phrase originated as an allusion to the former military custom of whitewashing a target after shooting practice, but the connection is difficult to discern. In modern usage, this expression is often applied in an athletic context to one who, because of injury or inferior ability, can no longer compete. In addition, the expression often implies a total depletion of funds.I would sit in with & hustlers who really knew how to gamble. I always got washed out. (Louis Armstrong, Satchmo, My Life in New Orleans, 1954)wither on the vine To fail to mature, develop, to go unused, to be wasted. The expression describes lost opportunity, unrealized ambitions or talents, unfulfilled plans, etc. It often implies neg if such had been properly tended and nourished, they would have blossomed. An obvious antecedent of the expression appeared in the 17th century:Like a neglected roseIt withers on the stalk withlanguish&t head.(John Milton, Comus, 1634)

So long as the law considers all these human beings, with beating hearts and living affections, only as so many things belonging to a master,--so long as the failure, or misfortune, or imprudence, or death of the kindest owner, may cause them any day to exchange a life of kind protection and indulgence for one of hopeless misery and toil,--so long it is impossible to make anything beautiful or desirable in the best regulated administration of slavery.
