"Spare me" is usually short for "spare me the details" which means the speaker doesn't want to listen to the whole rigmarole again...

I really need more context for these colloquialisms, gtivan.
1) This may be as in the baseball term-- an illegal pitch-- so perhaps 'an unfair suggestion'?
2) Yes, as the previous poster suggests, 'don't bother to try to fool me with that idea'.
3) This phrase usually means do you need a'place, opportunity, advantage'.
4) People remember only X about t
