Quoting Daydreamer

The idiom hit the road has nothing to do with being aggressive towards infrastructure. It means to depart, yola koyulmak

we use the same idiom in Turkish; "yollara vurmak"

"Have you got an eye full?" means "why are you staring at me"?

I´ve never heard that one.......although I think I could guess its meaning based on context!!!

kafam güzeldi Kafam kÃ½yaktÃ½ in slang

literal translation - my head was beautiful

slang meaning - I was drunk

Kafam zonk zonk zonkluyordu - my head was throbbing
