peer agreement (net): +8ups and downs /or/ high points and low points Explanation: "ups and downs" http://idioms.thefreedictionary.com/ups and downs "high points and low points" is not an official idiom, but can be used: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20061017055924AA... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 13 hrs (2011-05-12 10:49:54 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- As regards my second suggestion, "high points and low points", this can also be termed, as suggested by Peter Shortfall in his peer comment, as "highs and lows" rather than "high Points..." -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 13 hrs (2011-05-12 10:50:46 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Although, "ups and downs of life" means more to me. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 22 hrs (2011-05-12 20:39:38 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- You could possibly even break away from the structure here and use the expression "bumpy ride" as this would suggest up and down but in a rather subtle way. http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/bumpy ride http://idioms.thefreedictionary.com/a bumpy ride "His life was a bumpy ride" |
