Only two of those I didn't know the correct meaning or pronunciation of.....

"Fit as a Fiddle" Never made sense to me and I never used it.... I always say "as healthy as an Ox"

"beg the question" I had never heard of.


Blocker... "I saw it with my own eyes" is a correct saying.... people have added "very" to give it emphasis. It means you didn't "see it through someone elses eyes" IE have it described to you... and in later years that you didn't see it in a photo, poster etc. "I saw it in the flesh" is another saying that means the same thing.
