 "Like hell I will" is used when someone tells you to do something, but you refuse to do it or someone tells you that you will do something, but you disagree with what they say.
"fed up" - when you don't want to do it no more cause you were bored or extremely annoyed you say that you're fed up)
that's it = that was that, boys)
 "chill pill" is rather specific, you shouldn't use it in formal speech
chill out = go out to have some fun, relax)

Short story (you can find at least 8 wonderful idioms)
Several years ago, Tom and Ben went to a festival. There was a really good rollercoaster at the festival, but there was a really really long lineup for the ride.
Tom and Ben decided to join the queue anyway. After 30minutes of waiting some people jumped the queue in front of them. Tom lost his cool. He yelled at the people, "What the hell do you think you are doing? Go to the end of the line."
The people looked at him angrily, but they went to the back of the line.

About an hour later, Tom and Ben were still waiting in line. They waited for another half an hour then Tom got fed up. He said, "I've had enough, I'm not waiting anymore."
Ben was also tired of waiting, but he said "I'm going to wait a little longer."
"Ok, Have fun. I'll see you later."

As Tom walked off, some more people pushed in front of Ben.
"Hey! What do you think your doing? The end of the line is that way," Ben pointed behind him.
"Take a chill pill," one guy said.
"Like hell I will, I've waited here for over 3 hours."
The guy didn't move. "That's pretty stupid of you," he said.
Ben was really angry. "That's it," he said. He took a step towards the man, his hands made fists. "I've had it with people like you. Go to the end of the line or else I will make you go to the end of the line."
The man looked nervously at his friend then they both moved to the end of the line.
"You need to chill out man." They said as they walked away.
"You need to learn some manners," Ben said.
Finally Ben got to the front of the line, but then the rollercoaster staff said, "Sorry, that's all for today."
"Give me a break!" Tom said. "I've waited inline for hours!"
"Sorry, but that's all for today."
"Please!" Ben said.
"Hmmm, ok, but this is the last ride for the day."
Ben was over the moon! He got to have his ride! The end.

  Dear Friends,
how about enjoying this short story? Audio material is available at our club meeting, as usual.
(We can get ready for listening to it now by reading and answering questions)
BR,
Golubev Oleg.

    Nasreddin* had an old shed. It had no windows, so it was very dark, and it was full of old things.
One day Nasreddin went into this shed to get a ladder, but slipped on something and fell against a big garden fork. The fork hit him the head and knocked him down. Then it fell on top of him and hit him hard on the left leg. The ends of the fork then went into his long beard. He fought with the fork fiercely, and at last threw it off him, jumped up and ran out of the shed. He was very angry. He had an old sword under his bed, and he now ran and got this. Then he ran back to the shed, opened the door suddenly and shouted in a terrible voice, 'All right, come out and fight, you and all the other forks in the world! I'm not afraid of you!'
 
What did Nasreddin have ?
What was it like inside ?
Why was it dark ?
What happened one day ?
Why did Nasreddin go into the shed ?
What did he do inside the shed ?
What did the fork do ?
What did it do after that ?
What did the ends of the fork do ?
What did Nasreddin do ?
How did he feel ?
What did he have under his bed ?
What did he do now ?
What did he shout ?

There are a lot of idiomatic expressions and phraseologial units in the English literature for example. "I could not get out of my head the impression that at some moment he had entered into my life. I racked my brains. I was sure now that he was either English or American." - S.Maugham. The Close Shop

It's well-known, that literature is rich in idioms and idiomatic expressions. Let's think about the following: "When you've been here a few years and you go back to an ordinary life, you feel a bit out of it, you know...It all seems an awful rush. Much ado about nothing, that's what it is. It's noisy and stuffy. No, one's better off here." S. Maugham. Creatures of Circumstances.

Dear Friends,
I think that in situation when somebody is trying to pull your leg -we say: someone is leading you up the garden path.
pls duly advise of the correct answer, if I'm mistaken.

There some possible answers, but only one fits the situation exactly When someone is deliberately trying to deceive  you, how would you describe the action ? a) Taking the lead; b) Leading you up the garden path; c) Leading the field.
