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.
