idioms and daily language, useful collocations

If you have some experiments in dailiy language in English, please share them with us, it will be really handy because as Turkish people we are thinking like a Turkish and by translating all words one by one we make stupid and unrational sentences:)) Here are some dailiy language examples, I hope you will support me....

Cheers-goodbye, thanks
Brolley-umbrella
I'm gona go to the loo- toilet
The weather will cheer up!- Hava güzel olacak
I am not in my body yet- Sabah uyandığınızda ve hala kendinize gelemediğinizi söylemek için kullanılır
a bent lawyer- Dishonest lawyer
the truth will out-Gerçek açığa çıkacak
your head is in the clouds-aklın iki karış havada
a pint of beer please- bir bardak (büyük bira bardağıyla) bira lütfen
your ears must be burning- Kulakları çınlamak (başkası hakkında konuştuğunuzda kullanılır)
