Once in a Blue Moon.....

I like this expression because it's true that "Blue Moon's" don't happen all that often. Maybe once a year? One time, in a recent calendar year, there were two occasions of an "Blue Moon."

So, if one uses this particular expression and you know that the person rarely does x, y or z and they use this particular way of describing their situation, then I think it's reasonable to believe that it was truly an 'Once in a Blue Moon' experience.

.....Give the benefit of the doubt.....

I've never been too fond of this idiom. Somehow, it basically means to believe someone's statement, without proof.

.....The proof is in the pudding....

Need I say more????

[Kätzchen]

.....I heard it through the grapevine.....

I think Marvin Gaye's song gave this social idiom larger than life status....but, basically, this idiom is used in ways to express that unproven facts (rumors) are given credence over factual information, which has yet received permission to be announced in public ways.

[Kätzchen]

.....See eye to eye.....

This particular social idiom basically implies that two people agree with each other.

Or....in some cases, it could literally mean you that each person sees each other at eye level, an indication that both parties are matched in height or its possible that both parties just shared an amazing moment together and they're looking into each other's eyes (...).

.....That was a piece of cake....

Whether it's the proverbial cakewalk or the aforementioned piece of cake, the implied meaning was that someone easily completed any type of task with relative ease. There's no mention if one's efforts are mistake free. It simply means that something was easily accomplished.

Sidebar notes: Creating a decadent cake is NO easy task.

.....The whole nine yards.....

I'm not exactly sure how 9 yards indicates the sum of everything..... *UNLESS*..... possibly it's a proverbial reference to an Cloud Nine experience???? I'm not sure about this social expression.
