Girls and guy,
remember that we saw the verb to elbow your way into a place in our very first lesson?
I have come across other verbs!
to shoulder responsibility/the blame/the burden: to accept you're responsible for sth bad or difficult
to foot the bill/the cost/the expenses : to pay (informal)
to thumb a lift
to thumb your nose at sb/sth: to show a lack of respect
to mouth off: to express your opinions too loudly and publicly (disapproving)
xoxo Mari

Hey, I love this one: TO BAD MOUTH - it means to say bad things about someone.
And there´s also TO HEAD OFF TO somewhere - to go somewhere.
How about TO NOSE AROUND?
TO NAIL STH DOWN - to fix and agree to the details of it
TO PALM STH - to steal sth
I have just looked PALM up. There is also to palm sth off, which means to give away something, or persuade someone to accept something, because you do not want it and you know it has no value:
She tried to palm her old car off on me.
and TO NOSE AROUND would be to look around or search in order to discover something, especially something that other people do not want you to find:
There were some journalists nosing about/around.
The police came in and started nosing into drawers and looking through papers.
