1.To put out of Countenance
to say something that is not related to the subject you are speaking...to say wrong or to take wrong meaning of.....

3- Trudge along to plod along on foot. It seemed as if we trudged along for miles. As we trudged along, we forgot how cold it was

4-Hilarious: (extremely funny)

5- raise Cain to make a lot of trouble; to raise hell. Fred was really raising Cain about the whole matter. Let's stop raising Cain.

6- 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.

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

8-Petticoat government, government by women, whether in politics or domestic affairs.

9- 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.

10.The onlookers sees most of the game
The stander by sees more than he who plays.

11-Pocket an Insult: To bear the disgrace; He could not hit back and thus had to pocket the insult

12- Win Laurels: to get accolades; Dr Abdul Qadir win laurels in the field of science.

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

14-Over head and ears; Deeply; He is in debt over head and ears, or he is love head and ears.

15- a sting in the tail ;an unpleasant end to something that began pleasantly, especially a story or suggestion
At the start, it's humorous and light but like most of her short stories, there's a sting in the tail.
