Please help me to translate some of these expressions!!! Please please please.. :)
Hi! I'm translating a book, and I met these expressions, which I really dont understand 
So, I actually need help with those! If you can explain theirs meaning, I would be very very grateful to you!!
Here they are (I'm underlining them):
1). She was holding a lager and black.
2). Them what has, gets.
3). I got an A3 for my essay. (I know that A means the highest mark, but what does mean A3?)
4). Take a self-urging breath.
5). to be consumed by fire.
6). purple pop singers.
7). steep in spitiruality
8). If they could hang, they could trip on it (This is a line from the song "Alphabet Street" by Prince, but I cant get what does it mean)
9). Def me out.
10). He had more than enough time to make one hell of a night out of it.
