1.”fell like a ton of bricks” means fell very hard. It’s often used in reference to falling in love and then it means the person was immediately smitten

2.”stacked” The slang meaning you’re probably looking for means well-built or well-endowed, referring to a woman’s figure

3.”beat my time” — I’m not sure exactly what you’re looking for on this one, but in sports it means someone did better than someone else’s best time in a timed event

4.”got my goat” means annoyed or irritated me

5. “pasted him on the jaw” — punched him in the jaw

6.”sent up the river” — sent to jail or prison

7. “knocking me off” — killing someone

8. “had eyes for her” — was attracted to her

9. “a wolf” — a lustful man

and this ones especially weird:

10.”bumped me off with a hard left to the kisser” — “kisser” means face or mouth, and I think the rest is self-explanatory
