Hey galaxy #2 and #12 do not sound like colloquial English to me. #12 There is an expression "bow and scrape" but it usually ends the sentence. I'm not prepared to bow and scrape. You don't scrape "to" someone. At least that's how it sounds to my ear. #2 - I see the expression "big noise" in an expressions dictionary, but I have never heard it used by anyone. Maybe it's location specific (i.e. Los Angeles or somewhere like that.)
