burn one's bridges

Share definition
To leave all of your friends and acquaintances behind; to cause permanent damage in your relationships.

The idea is that there people who form bridges to your past. If you forget or insult them, you have burned all of your bridges to the past, and can never go back.
1) Even though you're quitting your job tomorrow, try not to burn one's bridges. You never know when you'll need help in the future.

2) There may be a conflict of interest if I work with both companies. Of course I don't want to burn one's bridges, so I should choose one company and let the other know that I can't work with them.

eating one's vegetables

Share definition
Submitting to an unpleasant sexual act as punishment for bad behavior. Generally implies anal sex, but may also include cum sucking, fisting, and/or a golden shower. The phrase is derived from the fact that while at the dinner table with your mother, eating one's vegetables (in a literal sense), while unpleasant, is inescapable.
A. After being chastised by her husband for speaking out of turn at the dinner party, Elizabeth blushed, realizing that soon she'd be on all fours on the bedroom floor, eating her vegetables.

B. "Eating one's vegetables," proclaims Mr. Thelsby as he pushes his plump erect pecker into his wife's bunghole, "is certainly the most appropriate penance for failing to properly shine the shoes of one's husband. Don't you agree, dear?" "Mfff," says Mary.

It is a person that exaggerates their self importance. These people like to boast or brag about their achievements, positions and accomplishments. Often seen as drama queens, blowhards and egomaniacs. These people like to inflate their credentials, but in reality they're not that important.
The people who like to inflate their claim to fame are a legend in one's own mind.
