Default I meet some questions on idiomatic expressions

Hi, dear Teacher,
I just met some idiomatic expressions in my teaching, which are all about RESPONSIBILITY, such as "face up to something; pass the luck; worm out of something and shoulder the responsibility". I need more for my students, but I myself can't figure them out.
Can you list some idioms here to me?

Another related idiom:

'face the music' (take responsibility for one's actions)

and a nice phrasal verb:

'get away with...' (avoid responsibility thanks to a good excuse or a credible reason)

All the best in your teaching
