I’m living in the U.S now, so I’d like to give you all a couple of American slang words and expressions:
a “no-no” : This is kind of an adjective. when you say that something is a no-no. you mean that it is strictly not allowed.

“Shoddy” :means poorly done> e.g. The kid did a shoddy work for tidying up his room because it’s his first time.
That was such a long example, but that’s the best I could come up with :)

I hope this was helpful :D

1-SMOOTH SAILING: a situation without problems

2-HIT A WALL: slow to a stop. Often said of growth in something, or of an effort to do something.

3-To HAVE EGG ON YOUR FACE, to GET EGG ON YOUR FACE: to be embarrassed because you've done something stupid

Where there is a will , there is a way
