1)she came upon somethig.
2)They'll get a buzz out of it.
3)going going gone.
4)we are just about done.
5)Bring my pizza and step on it.
6)You're both right on the money.
7)steady on!

Thanks in advance,

Default Re: Meaning of some sentences

1)she came upon somethig.- found by chance
2)They'll get a buzz out of it.- enjoy, find it exciting
3)going going gone.- used in auctions to close a sale- so 'going' means you still have a chance, 'gone' means the opportunity has passed
4)we are just about done.- nearly finished
5)Bring my pizza and step on it.- be quick
6)You're both right on the money. - correct
7)steady on!- calm down
