Clue please.

Hmm, can I ask how you look for those idioms?? In most cases it is enough to translate directly word for word.

So, check jump in Polish. Then check on and the bomb. When you google the Polish sentence, you will get it immediately. It is very simple.

Is it dive bombing? Like a cannonball?

Depends. Some of them I know, some I feel are similar to English ones, others I search for in Polish. Were my answers in #86 correct?

Like a cannonball?

Yeah, a cannonball.

What about 'carry someone on a ram'?

Is it dive bombing?

Yes, exactly.

As for your previous answers, yes, they are all correct. Terribly sorry, I somehow overlooked your post. I am getting old. :(:(:( Another proof of it is that I provided the same idiom within a few days.
Shyt, I am becoming demented like Novi!!!! That`s what I have always feared most.

Move Heaven and Earth!

Is it the same as in English? To do everything it takes and work as hard as you can to achieve something?

To leave no stone unturned and to pull out all the stops are similar idioms.

to be closer than further.

Something occurring sooner rather than later, anytime now?

Something occurring sooner

Yes, but you need to work on this explanation coz the something carries very specific meaning in the saying.

Is it the same as in English?

Seems so.
