Hi, my friends! Here is a new challenge for you!
1. to throw someone a curve.
When I ran into the married man I knew stepping out with a young girl, I threw him a curve by asking about his wife.
2. to throw the book at.
After a car crash one of the drivers was thrown the book at by a judge.
3. to pull one's weight.
Let's get rid of that salesman. He doesn't pull his weight around here.
4. to wade through.
I have a lot of unanswered correspondence that I have to wade through.
5. to be the in-thing.
Unfortunately, Country music and style are not the in-things nowdays.
Enjoy! Ha-ha-ha!

No Danny, it is not your fault. You are a very good teacher! It is me who is not good student, hahaha :D I will try more to be focus and think more :)
Dear Elen, I am so sorry! I was really confused when I saw your unanswered reply! So, "To pull one's weight" is incorrect! Honestly, I can't stand torturing you any longer, dear! I am surrendering! It means "to do what you are expected working your job"! I thought it should have been clear from my explanations, but I am not an English teacher and hope you will excuce me for not making myself clear enough!
It is ok Danny, don't get anxious. :) You have much work to do in all your blogs that it is difficult to respond in time. Besides, as you noticed, I join them only in weekends. So, no worries :)
Btw, you didn't tell me about the idiom "pull one's weight". Is my answer correct?
Dear Elen! Yes, it means "to punish with a full penalty". Excuse my not seeing your reply earlier! Sp, sorry, my dear friend!
I am back in this blog too :)
Ohhh, to throw the book at, means, to punish someone.
Hmm... To pull one's weight means, to offer?
Let's get rid of that salesman. He doesn't offer anything in here.
Dear Peppo! Thank YOU! You are a perfect student! You don't need to be better!
Thanks God, I made it! yayyy!!!
thank you so much Danny,. next time I'll try to be better :D
DEar Peppo! Yes! You've got it! "To wade through" means "to apply oneself dilligently to a difficult and time-consuming task", in other words, "to do a lot of work".
This is my third shoot for number 4, hehe..
after thinking about it two days and two night, i conclude the answer for 'to wade' is 'to strive' in other words working so hard. Am i right, teacher? xD
Dear SNR! Weclome! No2 is 100% right. It means "to punish with the full penalty" No 5 is also very close to the point. It means "to be popular, in fashion, up-to-date". So, you shot the target from the first attempt! Then, why not to try guessing the rest? I will be waiting for your reply, dear!
