Good thing I didn't read the numbers, because I didn't see your note first!
Some of these are old-fashioned and not used much at all anymore in the U.S. (I don't know about England.)
For example, "penny pincher," "stinko drunk," and "cock and bull story." You may hear them in an old movie but people don't use them much in conversation.
