My five idioms were :sail under false colors, scare the daylights out of someone, see the light, set in stone, and set the wheels in motion. To say someone is sailing under false colors would mean that they were being hypocritical or pretending to be something or someone in order to deceive people. To scare the daylights out of someone means that you terrified them or shocked them. When you say that a person sees the light, you are saying that they realize the truth. If someone says something is set is stone, they are referring that it can not be changed or altered. To say something or someone has set the wheels in motion, means that they are getting something started.
