You're reading some novel from the fifities or sixties right? And YOUR parents or grandparents don't know these? Did you EVEN try to ask them.
elbow grease- to work very hard at something, like you should put some elbow grease into doing your own homework.
Right Stuff- Title of a book about Nasa astronauts , it means you have all the necessary credentials , ie the right stuff, to do something.
Black Sheep, the odd one , not like all the others .
Hang around = hang out with, belong to the same group and do things with.
Messing around, has two meanings, one is just doing stuff together as in hanging around, the other meaning has to do with someone sneaking around with someone's gf/bf/husband or wife and having sex with them behind the other one's back.
in the same boat, means sharing the same experience.
get very far, again a sexual innuendo, meaning did you get very far in having sex, necking , petting , the whole nasty.

Elbow grease = hard work, which you should be doing to learn.
Right stuff = the right combination of qualities needed to be successful in a given endeavour, I'm sure you have it.
