Example: He's always criticizing Rick for the way he treats his wife and I feel like saying, people who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones. |
Wheels come off: If the wheels come off something, things start to fail or go wrong, especially after a period of success. Example: Chelsea were leading 3–1 at half-time, but then the wheels came off and they ended up losing the game. |
