Something you say to someone when something happens to them (or they are in a situation) that you do not envy and would not want to have happen to you (or would not want to be in a similar situation.)
First Student: I wish I hadn't taken 7 courses this term... I have so much homework I won't be able to make it to the party this weekend.
Second Student: Sucks to be you! I only took 4 bird courses this term. I am home free for the weekend and I will be front and centre at the party.

The mega worldwide tour of 50 cities in 30 days left me so worn out that I felt like I had been to hell and back.

An unappealing mixture of many things... a hodgepodge... a disorganzined mess... but probably still usable (or consumable in the case of food.) From the idea that a dog will eat anything and feeding it a mixture of whatever is on hand. (Unappealing because only the dog finds its breakfast appealing... if you see or smell the dog food in the morning, as you're feeding the dog, it may well turn your stomach.)

The obvious definition is that you did one thing, which led to a situation where it was logical to do some other related thing.
It can often be used to say something without actually saying it--you might say the phrase to imply that something happened which you are not going to be explicitly explain... (see the example below.)

I heard this rumour about John and Beth: Beth invited John to dinner last week, during which he accidentally spilled wine on his pants. Beth told him he better take them off so she could clean off the wine before it made a permanent stain. I guess John got a little aroused by the situation, and one thing led to another...

Statement about the temperature being very cold.
Background:
A brass monkey is a naval term for the holder that holds the cannon balls. It was made of brass and the cannon balls were not, so when it got cold enough, the two metals would contract by different amounts and the cannon balls would no longer fit properly in the holder and thus fall off.

Person 1: Holy crap its freezing in here.
Person 2: Yeah, its cold enough to freeze the balls off a brass monkey.

See front and center. (British and Canadian spelling of words ending in "er" or "or" are often spelled slightly differently than in the United States. For example: centre/center, colour/color.)
She was just the belle of the ball... she was front and centre and the managed to monopolize all of the invited guest's time... No one could get a word in edgewise.
