hill


it doesn't amount to a hill of beans (American English, informal) no vale un pimiento That's nothing. It doesn't amount to a hill of beans.
be (as) old as the hills
ser muy antiguo,-gua, ser tan antiguo,-gua como el andar para adelante The idea of Romeo and Juliet is as old as the hills. 
be over the hill
no estar para muchos trotes, estar para el arrastre James can work as hard as anyone. He's not over the hill yet.
up hill and down
dale por todas partes, cuesta arriba y cuesta abajo The walk was a bit up hill and down dale and it rather tired me out.
