- Across the pond is used to refer to the US in relation to the UK. In this phrase, the Atlantic Ocean is called "the pond."
- The four corners of the earth means a wide area. You usually hear this used as an exaggerated description of something, as in "When you dropped that stack of papers, they scattered to the four corners of the earth," or "People came from the four corners of the earth to listen to that band."
- Mother Nature is the term that stands for all of nature. You might hear someone say "Pick up that trash -- Mother Nature deserves more respect from you!" There was an old TV advert that said "It's not nice to fool Mother Nature" (it was an advert for synthetic butter).
- "The sky's the limit" means that there is really no limit. This is usually seen in terms of money, where someone would say "Order whatever you want to eat; the sky's the limit!"

Why social psychology is a science and not psychology?
Any answer to this question will depend upon how science is perceived. Regardless of how science is perceived, claiming that something is a science because it studies something is invalid. For example consider the claim that 'ghostology' is a science because it studies ghosts. Consequently, just because psychology studies mentality (or behaviour) doesn't mean that it is a science. Indeed Immanuel Kant, the German philosopher, contended, wrongly, that psychology couldn't become a science because (supposedly) the mind can't be studied. The International Council for Science (ICSU) will have its perception of science. My guess is that it is considered a science because it employs the "scientific method" for inquiry.
