sea urchin

2. That evil witch turned my fiancé into a sea urchin! How do I lift the spell?

in earnest

1. I thought that Mr. Doe was just goofing around, but he was in earnest.

[This sentence is not grammatically incorrect, but it's worth noting that "in earnest" is typically not used to describe a person or their intentions/sincerity directly this way. Instead, we should say "he was earnest". The most typical usage of "in earnest" is the one you use in sentence 3 - as a description for the intensity of an activity.] 

get an earful
1. Jack got an earful from his wife yesterday. He came back home late and he was drunk. He also fell on geraniums in their garden. They are completely destroyed now.
