Pull your leg = teasing you; Pull strings = know someone that can help you, or you can help someone yourself by your connections; Push to the brink = you are at your wits end, frustrated and can't take any more; Pull yourself together = don't cry and yell, gather your thoughts and calm down; Pull up stakes = move on or literally move, relocate; Pull a rabbit out of a hat = something that is so far reaching, it is almost impossible; Pull no punches = tell the truth, don't make it sounds like a fairytale, be honest; Pushing a product = be aggressive in selling something; Pull a fast one = being sneaky, deceitful; Pull out the stops = do everything possible to make something happen; Pull the rug from under you = hurting someone, being cruel, saying something that is unforgivable; Push over the edge = can't take the moment or life any longer, at your limit in frustration; You're a pushover = someone that is extremely naive that you can say anything to and they believe you, or you are so kind, you would do anything for anyone no matter what the circumstances.

Pull your leg - telling something that is not true as a joke
Pull strings - use your 'power', prestige, relationship to better yourself in some way.
Push to the brink - anger, irritate or annoy a person or situation until it's about to become volatile
Pull yourself together - be logical, less emotional
Pull up stakes - completely remove yourself from a situation, like moving to a new city and starting over
Pull a rabbit out of a hat - do something that is considered miraculous
Pull no punches - do whatever it takes to get something done.
Pushing a product - selling something
Pull a fast one - do something underhanded or outmaneuver someone else
Poll out the stops - same as pull no punches
Pull the rug from under you - manipulate someone into a position that makes them vulnerable then taking advantage of that situation.

Ok, I will help with what I can..."Pull yourself together" means to shape up your act, and do a better job...
"Pull a fast one" means to get something by someone...Like, let's say you told your mom that you were going to a concert while she was vacuuming, and she said ok without realizing it, then you pulled a fast one on her...
"You're a pushover" means that you take over things...you know, like make people do things your way...
Sorry, those were the ones I could really help with...Good luck!
