These are all representations of common words, phrases, places or things. Can you figure them out? Only one solve per person, please.

If you spell the words "absolutely nothing" backwards, you get "Gnihton yletulosba",
which ironically means absolutely nothing.

7. love triangle wave hi Pandie

Sometimes lost is where you need to be. Just because you don't know your direction doesn't mean you don't have one.

I think 8. is "Let's get it on", but at first glance it flashed me back to when I'd have a stomach bug as a kid and my mom would shout as I ran to puke, "Get it over the toilet!". lol

Some say pigs are actually very intelligent animals.
Yet I have this whole freezer full of sausages.

Am I the only one seeing a new puzzle but old answers on this one?
I'll try one anyway: 3. Between the devil and the deep blue sea
