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????

.....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.

.....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 (...).

Cakewalk
.....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.

.......Go Fly A Kite.......
The idiomatic expression above is not often used in current culture, but it is an interesting way of telling someone to stop annoying you (I saw your post homoe, in another forum thread). What some people might not know is that this idiomatic expression first appears in an book authored by Arthur Henry, titled "The Unwritten Law," which was published in 1905. According to an unknown reader on another website devoted to explaining the back story on idioms, I learned that this idiom was generally understood in early 1900s American society and was used frequently by the early 1930s. Then, I'm guessing that WWII came along and the idiom wasn't used much at all, until it's found again in popular culture again during the 1970s. No explanation was given for the uptick in use, but I am guessing that the comic strip by Charles Schultz -- Peanuts, may have played in the resurgence of this idiom. Remember how Lucy would tell Charlie Brown to 'Go Fly a Kite'??? Then you'd see the kite tangled up in a tree or Charlie tangled up in the kite??? I think the comic strip might have been partially responsible for the reappearance of this social idiom. In other news: I love Kite Festivals. I used to take my son's to parks or the beach to go fly kites. Flying a kite is not for the feint of heart. It's takes patience, timing, the right kind of windy weather and your kite must be kite-proper, *lol*. Both my son's were gone during the calender year of 2006. My youngest son was training for a job in Astoria. My oldest son was in the service, over in Iraq. I was in my junior year at SOU. There was no one around to go with me, so I drove up to Lincoln City for the Kite Festival. Here's a video of that day, where a man flew three kites (Carl Briegel aka The Kite God). The song for the kite performance was a Hawaiian love song, sung by Iz. *enjoy*
