Sunday Trivia - Idiom's

Do you know what an Idiom is?

I was sure my answer to that question was a resounding - Yep! Then, I read the definition - an expression whose meanings cannot be inferred from the meanings of the words that make it up.

Huh, what?

Okay to me an Idiom is a saying that makes little sense, has been used for generations, and no one knows it's origin.

So I thought it would be fun to see if you all can finish these Idiom’s. If I give you the beginning, can you supply the ending?
