LIKE THE BACK OF MY HAND

If you know something “like the back of your hand,” you are completely familiar with it.

 Examples of use:

 “From diamond rings to messages in bottles - Alan Leask knows Otterswick Beach like the back of his hand.”

 “But Collins would be the perfect athlete to represent a city he knows like the back of his hand.”

 “We are very fortunate that those who have volunteered know the local area like the back of their hand, so will notice if anything looks suspicious or is out of place.”


 This phrase also features in the song “Somewhere Only We Know,” released by Keane in 2004.
