Simpson and Delilah

A humorous, mocking nickname for a bald person. The image is of a smooth, shiny billiard ball. Used between people who know each other well; can be affectionate or cutting depending on tone.

An exclamation of approval or encouragement. Used to praise someone for an action just taken, similar to 'way to go!' in English but not predictable from the literal 'that's how it's done'.

A fixed phrase used to signal it is time to begin working on something. The individual words ('hands to the work') do not fully predict the idiomatic sense of 'let's get going' in English.

Used when someone in authority directs another to correct or discipline a subordinate. The literal 'put in their place' exists in English but the Spanish phrase is notably more common in everyday speech and carries a sharp, hierarchical tone.

Borrowed from the English 'dead man walking' (historically a prison phrase), used here colloquially to say someone is about to be in serious trouble. The dramatic, dark humor is the key nuance.
