So far, so good, but my #2 is different. (Hmm, I wonder if yours means the same as my common phrase does.)

For fun, give me a word that you think rhymes with 'what'. I'm wondering how your pronunciation differs from mine.

My #2 is nautical.

I haven't figured out #5 either; for me, it rhymes with "stitch and cut", which isn't a common phrase.

Yes, it's a very common maritime phrase, but used also in construction and surveying (structures, tracts, roads) to indicate lying or moving along a general line of length.

It is complete! ⭐ As a kid, I heard farmers say 'to and fro' a lot, describing roads, crop boundries and such. I know a retired contractor who uses the other, but he was in the navy. Not a very common phrase on land, really.
