1.by the minute
He was more frozen with fear by the minute as the professor kept yelling at him for the poor report.

He grew more fearful by the minute...

Your sentence has wonderful imagery and is correct grammatically, but "frozen with fear" implies an event that happens instantaneously.

2.get on
I think we can't get on. You are a liar.

"I don't think we can get on" or "I don't think we will get on" would be a more natural way to express this.

3.put it mildly
You said that he is just a bad boy? That was putting it mildly! He committed a crime.

4.rubbish
The rumor I made up with her is rubbish. She have has not accepted my apology at all

If you live in the UK - rumour. In the US - rumor.

Grammatically your sentence is correct, but I am not clear about the meaning.

5.look in on
I looked in on you to give this gift and I should go now for my baby left home alone.

The expression is often used with the idea of checking on someone or something.

"My sister was feeling depressed after her breakup, so I made sure to look in on her every week"

6.desperate
He is desperate for his success
He became desperate after he failed his business.
He did every desperate action he could do for the business.

Thank you for correction in advance.
