"Two can play that game".....

Refers to the possibility that one who has treated another badly may be treated that same way in return.

Keeping Up Appearances .......

Not only was this a fabulous drama-comedy, years ago on TV, but it's an oft expressed idiom describing people who are more interesting in maintaining their mode of decorum, so not to attract any unwarranted attention to what may or may not be going on or who they really are (etc).

Like the Hatfield's & McCoy's.......

Just like it's implied in the country-western song by Waylon Jennings, it's an idiom which refers to and describes an ongoing feud between two clans of families or between two or more people.

.....Snow Birds .....

This idiom infers that one is going south or heading south to an warmer climate, during the season of Winter.

.....Riding Shotgun.....

This idiom traces it's roots to the days of stagecoach's hauling money or gold bars to an undisclosed location, and refers to the guard riding beside the driver, who wards off hostile attempts to overtake the stagecoach goods.

In modern day use, it often refers to the person who has earned the right to sit up front in the passenger seat, next to the driver.
