Well, since you did not answer them all, I am going to let you think for a little while longer. In the meantime I think it's fair to consider other contributors' suggestions. Anyhow, you will receive a medal for each correct answer you came up with before anyone else did.
Come on, everyone! Let me "hear" you too!
Well, Bia, I am adding 14 medals to the records of the hall of medalists. The expression in #3 is " making passes at" .
Congratulations! Get ready for another challenge in the near future!
Keep on blogging, everyone!
