Some Idioms to do with Body Nouns (Parts?) and Others Things

Okay, I’ll hopefully take the Cambridge Proficiency exam in a few months hopefully, and I stumbled upon some idioms to do with body nouns parts and others things. This is my attempt to make up some sentences with the verbs that I’ve just learned, so please feel free to make any corrections and suggestions or just leave a comment! I’ll appreciate it.
Please notice that I got these idioms from a British English book, so some of them might not be accurate in your country maybe, I don’t know! I won’t make a fuss though, I’d love to read any contribution or equivalents from different countries oh and if you’re studying Spanish I’d be happy to provide you with the equivalent too. Here we go:

To shoulder responsibility → It’s been hard for many survivors after the earthquake as they have to shoulder the responsibility for looking after their families and getting on with their lives. or: … for looking after their families and resuming their lives. (getting on with their lives is definitely the best option here, Andrés.  And it's exactly what we would say in the UK).  In this situation when it's like a natural disaster or a major catastrophe, another common expression is 'to bear the brunt'.

To tiptoe into a room → Mary’s boyfriend tiptoed into her room so as nobody would notice him in the house Perfect!  'so as' (US), 'so' (UK).

To thumb a lift → The government’s (has) warned hitchhikers not to thumb lifting a lift / lifts / for a lift in this area as it could be risky.   

To foot the bill → Nobody seemed to want to foot the bill so Paul stepped up and did paid it.

If you foot the bill you're paying, so 'paid' sounds much better than 'did' in this case.

To elbow your way in → Lots of people elbowed their way into the court to see the players even though they hadn’t bought a ticket.  Perfect!

To table a question → During the global warming conference, a guy tabled a question that was had something to do with the atmosphere, I think. Whilst 'was' isn't incorrect, it sounds a bit unusual.

To corner a thief → The thieves, who had been caught stealing from the shop, failed to escape as the police cornered them.  Perfect! 

To man a ship → The captain invited the kids into the prow to try to man the ship. Perfect!

To coat with paint → Lucie claimed that she didn’t see the point of coating with paint the roof (do you mean 'ceiling'?* as nobody would live there anymore.

*'coating the ceiling with paint' would be the correct expression.  However, it's a bit strange to say that.  You would be more likely 'to put a coat of paint' on the ceiling.  If you were coating something with paint it would be more likely to be an object, for example, "John decided to coat the wardrobe with paint to give it a revamp." - Even in this case, it's still more common to say "John decided to give the wardrobe a coat of paint...."  In NI we also talk about 'a lick of paint', but I'm not sure if that's just an expression from here - e.g., The kitchen could do with a lick of paint.

To cash in on an idea → In a way you could argue that she is trying to cash in on her daughter’s success after all.

To ship goods → I made a complaint as the company was supposed to deliver everything yesterday but it seems they haven’t shipped the goods yet.  Perfect!

To house/take in asylum seekers → A recent decision by the government of to not take in asylum seekers has been considered as controversial since some parties claim that millions of people are fleeing from countries because of the war.

To toe the line → The European Union wants Greece to toe the line but things aren’t happening quite as they expected.  Perfect!

Well done, Andrés.  You've hit the nail on the head with these ;)

Since I am an American, I am not familiar with a few of the idioms but I have done my best. If you have any questions about my corrections, please let me know; I would be happy to provide more explanations.

Very good job! I am impressed by your English skills. Most of my corrections are very minor. And these idioms will prove very useful - "thumb a lift" and "table a question" are the only ones that I do not hear frequently.
