Spanish expressions and idioms

Question

I'll try to post some Spanish expressions or idioms for our Spanish learners to try to figure them out, translate them (if possible), understand them.

Let's see if it works.

Here's this one.

"Pongo las manos en el fuego" por mis amigos.

"Poner las manos en el fuego" What is it?

Cheers
