Tip of the iceberg

Only the part of something that can be easily observed, but not the rest of it, which is hidden. (Referring to the fact that the majority of an iceberg is below the surface of the water.)

"The problems that you see here now are just the tip of the iceberg. There are numerous disasters waiting to happen."

Tip of the Tongue, Teeth and the Lips

1)A vocal warm up tongue twister
2)A line uttered by Jack Black in School of Rock.

1)The lips, the teeth, the tip of the tongue,
the tip of the tongue, the teeth, the lips.

2)"Tip of the tongue, teeth and the lips.
OK.
It starts off...
...a dark stage,
and then a beam of light,
and you can see me and my guitar."

An American idiom commonly used in military operations to mean the first soldiers to go into a war zone. In common usage it means the first to venture into a new endeavor. A trailblazer.

When it comes to creating new technologies, Steve Jobs was the tip of the spear.

Tip of the nutberg

The first clue that the person you are dealing with is a total whack job. Just as an iceberg is largely hidden below the water’s surface, the tip of the nutberg is a hint of the vast crazy hidden deep inside your typical head case.

Xavier: Did you see that old lady flip out when she thought we were laughing at her cat?

Emmett: Yeah, that was weird. I think we just saw the tip of the nutberg.
