What are some English expressions or idioms that conjure those weird images in your mind or simply don't make sense here are some that come to mind:
Falling from my nose
Lion's share
The cat was out of the bag
Cat got your tongue?

I always say "I'm falling on my nose" meaning I'm so tired I'll fall forward flat on my nose. I never heard people say "from my nose"
