Jargon is words or phrases used by a specific group of people that may not be easily understood by those outside of the group. These are all phrases whose definitions depend on the person or culture using them. They do not have specific definitions that would be universal. How these phrases are used and what they mean are dependent upon the person and situation that they are used in.
