Answer 1

to hit below the belt - this one means to take a cheap shot at someone else. Not literally but like when you know someone is bad at something and then when you are arguing about something else, you bring that back up.. that's hitting below the belt.

to have a bone to pick with someone - this means to have a problem with someone.

to take the bull by the horns- to take charge.

to put the cart before the horse- like walking before crawling
