I agree with most of the above - so I won't be redundant.
I will add to set our teeth: A long ime ago - before anesthesia - people who had operations had to endure the pain during the surgery; hence phrases like bite the bullet or set our teeth. It means to bite down hard and keepe your mouth shut.
