Is there any difference between springboard and stepping stone in a figurative way? Like every time I make a mistake, I try to use them as a springboard (or stepping stone). Can't I use a stepping stone this way? Thank you in advance.

How does "I says' sound? I know it means "I said in an emphasizing way". It seems to sound a bit Irish or Scottish. I just want to know how it sounds for each native speaker of "English". Thank you very much.

How does "Toodles" sound? I just learned that it means "See you" in an informal way. It seems to be used in many TV shows and movies. But I have never heard of it in everyday conversation. Shouldn't I use this expression in day-to-day life? Thank you in advance.

Is there any difference between feel "guilty" and feel "guilt"? I thought it was supposed to be I feel guilty but I've heard someone say I feel "guilt". It turns out, it's also right. I'm not sure about the difference. Thank you in advance.

Is there any difference between "have the luxury of 〜ing" and "have the bandwidth to do 〜". They sound quite similar to me. If I had to say one thing, 'have the bandwidth" is mostly used in a negative way, while the other one is not neutral. What is your take on that? Thank you in advance?

Is the sentence pattern "That's a man who ~(verb)" used with a specific nuance? If so, in what situations can it be used? The following is the actual sentence I heard, since there are many other examples of that's a man who ~. I would be very grateful if you could explain in detail. That's a man who knows he's got full insurance coverage! (I saw this comment while watching a car accident video)
