to make people feel more friendly and willing to talk to each other
break the ice
to be very happy about something
be on cloud nine
to be very sad and without much interest in life
be down in the dumps
to have a very kind character
be a heart of gold
to be slightly ill
to be a bit under the weather
to understand a situation in completely the wrong way
get the wrong end of the stick
to pay a higher price for something than is usual or reasonable
pay over the odds for something
