    ¡Que padre!/¡Que chido!  = Cool!/Awesome!

    ¡Se me fue el avión! = I forgot it!  (It literally means that you missed a plane).

     

    Ex.

    - Que chido that you went traveling! 

    - I know! I took a lot of pictures!

    - Did you bring the thing I asked for?

    - Sorry! se me fue el avión! 

     

    Some might be regionalisms for the place where I live. I didn't write more because I'm not very sure what kind of sayings you were asking for.

     

    Or maybe you were looking for something more like...

    "Camarón que se duerme... se lo lleva la corriente. " Literally means shrimp that falls sleep, the water stream take it away. It means that if you don't take the chances and are lazy you won't do any difference or any big change. (Sorry, I couldn't express myself like I would want to!, maybe someone might explain it better!)

    Mail guy did it, because the maid saw the bill under the book (so the cook said the truth),and the mail guy said he saw it sticking out the book(so the maid was telling the true).

    The sentence doesn't make sense. Maybe you wanted to say "bailas como un hipopótamo" that doesn't make a lot of sense for me but means "you dance like an hippopotamus". So the sentence might mean something about someone not knowing how to dance or being overweight. Hope that helps

    La expresión "estaré hacer algo" no tiene mucho sentido, pues esta mal conjugada. Quizá te referias a una de las siguientes dos: "estaré haciendo algo" (futuro) ó "estaba haciendo algo" (pasado)

     

    "hacía algo" a mi parecer le falta contexto para poder explicarte un poco mejor, pero te daré un ejemplo en donde yo la usaría.

    Si cambiamos "algo" por una acción podemos dar un ejemplo:

    - Yo hacía de comer todos los dias

    - El hacia aerobics cuando era joven. (He did aerobics when he was young).

    En las dos oraciones anteriores, son una acción que se realizaba en el pasado.

     

     

    - Yo estaba haciendo de comer cuando sonó el telefono.

    - El estaba haciendo aerobics cuando le hable. (He was doing aerobics when I called him).

    En estas dos oraciones, son una acción en el pasado que estaba sucediendo cuando otra sucedió.

     

    Espero haya podido ayudar aunque sea un poco.

    Creo podrías decirlo como. I am playing football tomorrow but after that I have to go back to work. Que significaría más literalmente "Voy a jugar futbol mañana, pero después de eso tengo que regresar al trabajo".

    In México. In the city where I live or at least between the group of people I talk to we do not use "yo me abro" or something like that. I have heard that sometimes some people say to other "Abrete" when they are in a conversation circle talking and someone new wants to participate. So you need to "abrirte" to make free space for the new person in the circle. Besides that, I haven't used it in other different way than "open"

    Ohh. Creo es un poco dificil para mi (debido a mi ingles), pero intentaré. I'm going to take care of you. Te voy a cuidar. I'm going to take care of you from the dogs. Te voy a cuidar de los perros. I'm going to take care of you with this sword. Te voy a cuidar con esta espada. You should watch out of dragons. Deberías cuidarte de los dragones / Deberías tener cuidad de los dragones. You can take care of yourself with this sword Puedes cuidarte tu mismo con esta espada. --- Look after Look after the dogs [?] (not sure if this is okay in english) Vigila a los perros Cuida a los perros This is because you should watch them, maybe feed them, and more stuff. I'm not sure how is it said in English for "look after the baby while I go to the supermarket", that would be: "Cuida al bebe mientras voy al supermercado" --- Pay attention Pay attention to the teacher Pon atención al profesor. Pay attention to what you say to others (you might swear to others -and you don't want to-) Ten cuidado de lo que dices a los demás. Pon atención de lo que le dices a los demás. Be careful of what you say (there a many gossip people in here) Ten cuidado con lo que dices (hay mucha gente chismosa aquí). Hope this can help you. I'm not a spanish teacher so it's kind of difficult for me to explain well the differences. Hopefully other person will make it clear in another comment.
