stitch up 

A set up, a trick. If someone stitches you up, then they're playing you for a fool. It's often used when framing someone for a crime.

"I don't believe it, Dave! I was at home all night, I swear! I'm being stitched up!"

loud and clear 

Affirmative. Originally used over the radio to signify that you heard the other - you guessed it - 'loud and clear', the term now simply means "Yes, I understand you, now kindly leave me alone."

Teacher: "By Lord Iain, I want that damned work in tomorrow or it's your head! Do you hear me?"
Iain: "Loud and clear."
