 When the students started arguing, I had to step in and make them stop.  Can you wait here while I step into the store and get some milk?

 On February 28, Pope Benedict will step down from the papacy and a new Pope will have to be elected.

 We only have a few minutes, so step on it!  You’d better step on it if you are going to finish your homework in time for class.

 What a steal! I only had to pay $20 for this purse!  We considered the price a steal when we saw how much the TV cost in other stores.

 It’s very annoying to watch a co-worker playing up to the boss all the time.  Stop kissing up to the teacher. She knows what you’re doing! Also to suck up

 The students in my class are more or less the same age, with just one or two exceptions.  That costs $20, more or less.

 Your grade isn’t that great, so don’t screw up on the test!  Stop messing with the computer settings or you will screw it all up!

 I really goofed up on this job. I hope you will let me fix it.  Pay attention so you don’t goof up again!  Also: to mess up, to screw up, to slip up

 Wow. Mrs. Sedillo really went off the deep end when she made us all throw our cell phones away!

 My class is out of control! I am losing my touch!

 I know I didn’t do very well on the last test, but my grades and study habits really are under control.  It is hard to keep a class under control on Friday afternoon.

 We have to do the work, so stop dragging your feet and get on with it.  Dragging your heels on the assignment will not make it disappear.
