The expression "a hole in one" came from, on a golf course, when someone would take only one shot to get it into the hole.
The full expression is: like a (lightning) bolt from the blue, meaning the rare instance of a bolt of lightning that strikes a long way from its cloudy source, seemingly out of a clear blue sky.
This phrase came into use in the late 1800s and means "to surveil" and likely derives from the Hollerith Tabulator which was used to conduct the United States Census.

The expression comes from the pool-table. In some forms of pool, sinking or even touching the eight-ball is tabu except in end play. To be "behind the eight ball" is to be unable to play without disturbing the eight-ball, and thus the expression means "unable to do anything without getting in trouble."
From the story of chicken little there was loosey goosey.
The meaning of the phrase "loosey goosey" is loose, relaxed or comfortable, or as well, imprecise and careless. I first heard this term when school and parents taught kids how to screw in (a screw; a nut on a bolt; a light bulb; a faucet head; anything that needs turned to tighten it). The two complimentary phrases to screw in an item is "righty tighty" and to loosen it is "lefty loosey" or "lefty loosey goosey". Both are a mnemonic devices simply for remembering which way to turn a screw or nut etc. to loosen or tighten it. Left-handers in particular could have trouble doing these actions, because they are more prone to reverse the action.
