Idioms in pictures

Good evening my estimated readers!

I know I haven't been very prolific lately so I decided that I have to treat you with something more entertaining than just another article.
Instead of putting together bits and pieces about grammar points or vocabulary, I searched for pictures with English topics. I was looking for something that would have a direct use and would be amusing enough to keep your attention. And as I think such an idea might produce a nice colourful series, let's put the pictures under topics and publish those separately.
I have had these pics in my computer for some time now and
I don't always know the original source, so let's forget about copyrights for now and enjoy the contents while you can. (Anyway I think if you're friends with uncle Google you can easily find the pics yourself.)

So here are the first couple ones: IDIOMS.








Now I don't want to make it too easy for you: your task is to go and use your dictionary and/or Google and find out what those that you don't know mean.
Good luck!
Are any of them similar to your language? Maybe you use e.g. different body parts to say the same thing. Try and use those that you like in your English class or when talking to tourists.
You can tell me in the comments in what situations you used these idioms.
