Person A helped person B financially in the past. Now A needs a favor but doesn't want to say it directly that B should help him since A helped him in the past.
"Please help me complete this report by tomorrow for old times' sake."
I'm not sure about the phrase 'for old times' sake' here. According to Cambridge dictionary it means 'If you do something for old times' sake, you do it in order to remember a happy time that you had in the past.'

"What would you say if I told you I WAS a bodybuilder?"
Should it be 'was' even if I'm still a bodybuilder?

"Want to come over for lunch tomorrow?'
I feel like this sentence is missing something. Do we mention 'to my house/place' after 'come over?' Or is it already implied?

I was talking about a popular travel vlogger in my country who does his videos in mostly English. And he sounds almost like a native speaker.
"I'm sure his contents are great, but HIS English played a huge role IN HIS POPULARITY."
Im not sure about the sentence.
- Is it correct to say 'his English ' here?
- I'm also not sure about 'played a huge role in his popularity.'

When chatting with customers I write the following a lot.
"We have two colors available." - Is it a correct sentence?
"We'll be waiting to hear from you." (When customers say something like 'I'll let you know / I need time to decide')- Can 'hear' be used for texts/messages?

"If You Know A Thing About business, you know that this profit margin isn't high enough to open a store."
I want to know whether "If you know a thing about...." is something we say. I don't know where I picked it up from.

For test/exam questions I heard 'penalize' and 'lose points' (you'll lose points/ be penalized if you don't answer it correctly).
I was wondering how else I can say it. Can I say 'cut points?' (The examiner will cut your points if you don't....)

"I acted on instinct and said I love her."
Is the phrase 'act on instinct' correct?
If so, it is casual enough to be used in regular conversations?

"The rope is 10 inches across."
Does the sentence mean that it's 10 inches from one side to the other? I wonder if dropping 'across' would change the meaning in any way.
