worse comes to worst

If the worst possible thing happens; if a situation develops in the most serious or unpleasant way. If the worst possible outcome occurs. This expression is often followed by a solution.
We should be home when you arrive, but worse comes to worst, the neighbours have a spare key and will let you into the house.
If worse comes to worst and Mr. Jones loses the house, he will send his family to his mother's farm.
If worse comes to worst, we shall close the school for a few days.
If worse comes to worst and the budget is not approved, the government will shut down.
Go ahead and go to school with a cold; worse comes to worst the teacher will send you home.

trick or treat

Trick-or-treating is what children do on Halloween (October 31st) when they go from house to house wearing frightening or strange clothes, asking for treats such as candy with the question: "Trick or treat?", or the phrase: "Happy Halloween!"
Trick-or-treating is a Halloween tradition. If you live in a neighborhood with children then you should buy treats in preparation for trick-or-treaters.
The "trick" part of "trick or treat" is a threat to play a trick on the homeowners if no treat is given.
