    The opposite of skeletons in your closet is no skeletons in your closet, not skeletons in the front yard. LOL

      If you’ve got a whole bag it means you haven’t let any out

    “going sideways” is also bad. I guess the moral of that idiom is that directions are bad?

    I guess “going forwards intact” would be the good version.

      “going sideways” is also bad.

      “Going forward in flames” is what it should be. You’re in flames, but you’re not going up, down, or sideways (all bad), but just going forward knowing the flames will probably subside.
