Any ideas what any of the above means, or are they all a foreign language to you?

Here’s the meaning of each of the above:

1. Be quiet!
2. Don’t try to teach someone something they already know
3. Has the cat died? Which is usually asked of someone when their trousers are a bit short. i.e. Their trousers are like a flag flying at half mast
