hello,
i have a problem with idioms, could you tell me if I used them correctly, please?
1.She's written TV scripts before, so her experience naturally gives her the edge over newcomers to television writers.
2. I've often had difficult pupils to deal with , but for laziness young Smith really takes the buiscuit.
3. That's slander! Dodson can't expect me to take it lying down. I shall see my lawyer immediately.
There are more idioms than sentences, the idiom I haven't used is 'take sb under one's wing', so maybe this is the idiom that fits in the sentences above if they are wrong.
thank you for help
