I've heard this expression used so many times, but I just can't understand it reall. I think it means really close, but I'm not sure.

Yes it means that they were really close with similar personalities. It comes from the old stories about theive's honor. A thief might try to cheat you but would never try to rip off another thief. They are secretive and because of their common interests have a bond that no one else in the world can claim.\n\nHope this helps.

you can only try to figure out the meaning based on where and how it's used in the context of the sentence.  If you're still stumped, take a guess of its meaning and go with it.  Don't spend loads of time trying to figure it out.

I have no idea of the context, but this is the translation:\n"you, la Bruyère and Tori cannot judge me. Leave the table of multification to God"\nThat last part does not make sense to me. May be the "table of multification" is a french expression for something like "final judgement". \nGreetings from Holland!

i think that it means, if you already have someone(relationship) then why would you need someone else.  how bout this quote, "why go out for burgers, when you have steak at home"  ponder that:)

I am a Czech so I can translate this for you easily.\n\nIt means: "First love studying, then study love."

The literal meaning is "from faith ,confidence"\nwhich we might translate as "out of faith comes confidence"\nor "out of faith comes trust".\n\nNot sure of the origins. The words could be used with religious sense but in other ways too.

It means that, on a scale of 1 to five, both clarity and strength of signal rate a 5. \n\nBasically, it's a radio communications term for 'loud and clear'.\n\nThe phrase was (mis)used in the movie Alien, the computer game Starcraft (as an Alien reference) and repeatedly by Faith in the TV shows Buffy and Angel.

the end is supposed to remain a mystery, because if you translated it, the meaning would be "lost in translation" \n\nlike how we have phrases in english that people who speak spanish would not understand, like saying "the apple doesn't fall far from the tree"

I've always thought it meant "very common,inexpensive and or plentiful".  \nFor example:  In the summertime sunglasses are a dime a dozen.  \nMeaning: they are in every store and you can get them cheap because it's summer.

I put it on the same level of, "stop and smell the roses".\n\nIt means, to me, slow down and enjoy what is around you.  You only get to pass this way once, don't miss it all.  Live is a journey, not a destination.\n\nOK that should give you some idea of my thoughts.  Good luck with your propaganda mill.

When people use these common expressions, it's hard to tell if they really mean it. \nI'd say it sounds more like "Nos vemos" than "Quiero verte".\nUnless it's accompanied by an actual proposal (time and place).

I haven't been able to find it in the cliche or phrase dictionaries.  I've seen it in books and usually it meant "searched exhaustively."\nAn example is "The detective really covered the waterfront, and has no further clues to pursue."

It was a complete mystery to me for a while, & I didn't think to look it up. I have one friend who uses it all the time in text messages - so much that it's driven me a little crazy. For him it means "laugh out loud." I've heard other people say, "lot's of laughs," but that sounds a little hokey.\n\nThe thing that I like best about it - well, the only thing mildly amusing, to me at least - is that "lol" looks like an open mouth between the sides of a face, like someone saying, "OH!"\n\nStill, I wish it would disappear so I wouldn't have to be crazy anymore.\n\nAll the best.
