    That's cool how the $20 bill up her nose. I wish I could do that.

    My Idiom Dictionary says one of the possible origins of "Pay through the nose" is from the 9th century when Danish authorities charged Irish people a poll tax-cutting off or slitting their noses of those who didn't pay-ouch!

    Something up your sleeve?
    Button the lip
    Pulling my leg
    Paying through the nose.

    I vote for Lauren's answer!
    Something up your sleeve;
    Buttoning your lip;
    Pulling my leg;
    Paying through the nose.
