Who can translate a few idioms?
//Кто может перевести идиомы?
Put one's nose out of joint
keep your nose out of joint
speak with ones tongue in one's cheek
to work tooth and nail
got it in by the skin of my teeth
keep my hair on
put my foot in it

//И еще очень нуждаюсь в идиомах со следующими словами:

foot

::3) speak with ones tongue in one's cheek -- говорить/цедить сквозь зубы? (not sure)

That's not it, i think. To speak with one's tongue in one's cheek means to speak insincerely or ironically. I don't think that there is a Russian idiom for this at all, maybe говорить, держа кукиш в кармане (this means to speak insincerely) is more or less it.

And "говорить/сказать не без задней мысли", too, may be.

[oryx_and_crake]

No, I don't think it's the same.

Ironically, not insincerely.

[oryx_and_crake]

Well, i got that from an idiom dictionary, it must have been wrong.
Кукиш в кармане is no good, then.

Yes, if that's the meaning, then "говорить, держа кукиш/фигу в кармане" is the most appropriate variant.
