“Under the radar” refers to a property of radar that makes ground based radar unable to sense very low flying objects due to what is called ground clutter. So a plane that doesn’t wish to be seen by radar flys very close to the ground almost hitting tree tops and the radar won’t show the plane on its screen.

[@LA_Commander]

"The old college try" and "take a chill pill" used to be more commonly used decades ago. Those particular phrases are not in use much anymore, but they are valid idioms in American English.

A sarcastic way of saying that something is difficult, is to say it's "Like Kicking a Whale Up the Beach".
Just sane... :^) Saint

I'm an American, just curious about idioms for some reason. "Bite the Bullet", I think, comes from the civil war. Bullets were soft led and soldiers would bite them while they were having a limb amputated, which was extremely painful.
