have sticky fingers - when you have them, you are likely to steal sth;)
hit the jackpot - to win sth or suddenly get a lot of money
in a nutshell - to cut long story short, to say sth using as few words as possible
in black and white - on paper, sth is written down
be in hot water - to be in a dangerous situation or one that you are likely to be criticised
in the same boat - be in the same (unpleasant) situation as other ppl
to keep in touch - not losing contact with sb
keep up with the Joneses - you always want the same stuff as other ppl have, just to show that you can afford them too.
kick the bucket - give up a ghost, fell off the perch, bite the dust, snuff it - to die:)
kill two birds with one stone - you achieve two goals doing one thing
last word on sth - you won’t say more, this is your last word
Try to take some expression tests from this site:)

Yes, I got that message too but the site shows a Google PageRank 7/10 which means it must have been around for a while and has gained quite a level of importance.[YSaerTTEW443543]

u missed one! jack of all trades! heh 
yes, indeed I omitted one. I did it on purpose because I hadn’t known the meaning of it. Now when I’ve chcecked - read as follows;) :
Jack of all trades - a person who knows how to do many different jobs
This is a part of a bit longer saying: Jack of all trades, master of none, which simply means that this person can do a lot of things but isn’t an expert at any of them.
Intresting, thanks Mosteque
-keep in touch means to maintain communication.
