come down in the last shower—(Irish coll., usually negat.) be naive and gullible:
- I’m sorry to disappoint you, if you expect me to take your work seriously, but unfortunately for you I didn’t come down in the last shower.
come out in the wash—
1. (of the truth) be revealed or become clear later:
- The impression is being created that everything will come out in the wash within the inquiry and that people will be found guilty or not guilty.
2. (of a situation) be resolved or put right eventually, especially without intervention:
- “I thought everything was going to be all right….” “Don’t worry, old girl, it’ll all come out in the wash.”
