To whine

To give someone else the spotlight

Bluntly

to decapitate

To break free from restrictions

Empty and lonely; Lacking

To have your teeth chatter

to hesitate; to be modest

To be powerful and respected

heading into battle ready to die

Well-known and successful; Flying high; Soaring like a eagle

to inlay or mount on metal

To act out; To misbehave

Fast or slow, we'll all get there eventually

The early bird gets the worm
