e.g. Can you give me a hand with the laundry?

2. To cost an arm and a leg
to be really expensive
e.g. Is that a Louis Vuitton bag? It must've cost an arm and a leg!

e.g. Keep your chin up! I know the work is hard, but you're almost finished.

5. To pick someone's brain

e.g. I think that company will do well in the stock market, so I'll stick my neck out and buy some shares.
