I can help you with some of them:

1)side-steps = avoids confrontation
2)It made my head swim. -- it dazzled/confused/astounded me
3)Everybody drank to them. -- everyone toasted them
4)No matter how many spring-time you live through. -- no matter how old you are
5)Life and soul of a party. -- the party-maker; the central mover-and-shaker of the party; the one who makes the party a success
6)How did you come out on this? -- what is your opinion about this?
7)We cool? -- aren't we fashionable and attractive; skilled or socially adept?
8)Do some math in life. -- Don't know. Perhaps: think seriously sometimes.

I just have a view dissenting opinions/additions to what Mister M posted....


6)How did you come out on this?7)
What was your personal experience in this matter? What was the end result for you?
"I took this personality quiz in the latest issue of Cosmopolitan and found out I'm quite boring. How did you come out on this?"

We cool?
Is everything OK between us now?
Here's the money I borrowed from you last week, and your sweater that you let me use. We cool now?"

8)Do some math in life.
Don't take everything at face value; analyze things and think logically.
"Look, he only calls you from work, he can only see you on Tuesday nights, and he has a tan line on his finger. You do the math - the guy is obviously married!"
