1. All cars
Its "All ears":(very attentive) When someone speaks to you, be all ears.

2. To carry the cross:(an unpleasant situation or responsibility that you must accept because you cannot change it) Someone has to look after mother and because I live the closest it's a cross I have to carry.

3. Teaming meaning: (packed meaning) The teeming meaning of 'Splash' is to make a liquid fall on a surface and break into many drops.

4. On the sky: (On the rise) His reputation for being a good schemer is on the sky now-a-days.

5. To monkey with: (to adjust something) It seems like any time they monkey with taxes, wealthy people benefit the most.

6. Pocket the affront: (to receive an affront without open resentment, or without seeking redress.) The remark was a rude one but the man chose to pocket the affront.

7. To strike one's colours: (keep strongly to one’s opinion, decisions etc) Even when they know that they are wrong, they stick to their colours in discussion.

8. Hilarious: (extremely funny)

9. Got up to kill:

10. On right earnest:(seriously) Concerned authorities should take up the matter of modernization and up-gradation of the facilities in Museum on right earnest.

11. Meaningful dialogue: (useful discussion) The global summit will encourage meaningful dialogue on the issue.

12. detract from: (to make something seem less good) One mistake is not going to detract from your achievement.
