1. The long arm of the law: the police.
2. To get someone´s back up: to really annoy someone.
3. To beat your brains out: to spend a lot of time worrying about a problem and thinking about how to deal with it.
4. Tongue in cheek: when you say something as a joke, although you might appear to be serious.
5. Take it on the chin: to be brave and not to complain when bad things happen to you or people criticise you.
