You have something like "Manger les pissenlits par les racines", that can be translated as eating dandelions by the roots. It means being dead. Or, "arrete de raconter des salades", stop telling salads => stop telling craps ! Or, "etre prise pour une poire", when someone think you're a "good pear". It means being too nice/stupide with someone. There are other expressions about food in France.

I wish more of the Tweets included more in depth phrases that beginners are not familiar with, such as this comprehensive and interesting article. :) I follow Transparent French on Twitter and I’m often bored by the words taught, that most students learn within their first few months of studying a language.
