As plthijinx said in "word association" :
"Je me fais chier" / "Tu me fais chier" : "I/You make me shit"
I'm bored to death / You're boring me to death (very common)
about cheapskates :
"Avoir des oursins dans les poches" : "To have sea-urchins in the pockets"
"Avoir les doigts crochus" : "To have hooked fingers"

One third of them are not well known or very intricate. Meanwhile most of them are real insults. Be careful !
Very common examples :
"Va te faire enculer" : "Go get fucked up the ass"
" conneries " : " bullshit "
" Emmerdeur " : " shitwit "
" Salaud / Con / Connard / Enculé " : " bastard "
" Pute / putain / Conne / Connasse / Enculée " : " whore "
" Trou du cul " : " Asshole "
" J'en ai rien à foutre " : " I don't give a fuck " : I don’t care
I rather like :
“On t'a bercé trop près du mur " : " Was your cradle rocked too close to the wall? "
" Enculer les mouches" : " to fuck flies " : to complicate
But :
“Faire l'amour" : "To have sex with"
“Ce n’est pas tes affaires " : "It’s not your business"
“Ne tente pas le diable!" : "Don’t tempt the devil" : Don't push your luck!
“Ça craint!" : " It sucks! "
aren’t swears
etc…
An author is famous in France for writing good detective stories with a lot of very inventive slang (most of time about sex) : Frédéric Dard / San Antonio
San Antonio
(Clic Oeuvres and see some covers...
