Popular Conjunctive Phrases

I collected a mountain of these and then promptly misplaced it. So I started over again and wrote them down as they occurred to me. A conjunctive phrase is a pairing separated by the word “and.” So here is an abbreviated list that will likely grow when I get around adding to it. There are tons of them, no doubt. At the end of the list is a short list of three-word conjunctive phrases. They are less common but still plenty of them exist. I invite you to suggest additions.
