to
be a big fish in a small pond
to be a small fish in a big pond
It's
often said that's it's better to be a big fish in a small pond than to be a
small fish in a big pond.
Example: Some actors may be successful and famous in England (and so are big
fish in a small pond) but if they move to America they may suddenly find
themselves in a new situation where nobody knows them (and so they are now
small fish in a big pond).
to be going for a song
If
you say that a product is going for a song then the price is very, very low. It
is very cheap.
For example, if the normal price for a product is $99 and a shop is selling it
for $30 then you could say that it is going for a song.
