According to Thomas Tayler's Law Dictionary (printed in 1856), the phrase "Wolf's Head" pertains to an outlaw, meaning a person who might be killed with impugnity, like a wolf. It is said that the phrase was originally found in the phrase "to cry wolf's head." But I have no idea where that phrase came from.

It comes from the Sherlock Holmes Story "Silver Blaze."

There is no such phrase. There is a word rampage. It is of Scottish origin, perhaps from RAMP, to rear up.
I believe this term comes from medieval times when someone was insane they would often cut their heads off hence the term "don't lose your head"
Probably from the fact that when a person was executed by guillotine the head would roll around, even when landing in a basket.
"on the rocks"
The phrase originally was an insult. It compared the way that a person who is considered a simpleton wags their head around while thinking, to a noodle flopping around.
The Spanish for "I have put" is he puesto, could this be the origin?

The phrase "the last straw" originates from the idiom "the straw that broke the camel's back," which refers to a seemingly minor or routine occurrence that triggers a disproportionate reaction due to the accumulation of previous stress. Just as a camel can carry a heavy load until one final straw causes it to collapse, this phrase describes a situation where a small event leads to a significant outcome.
