What does COD stand for in Tim's question, something like direct object?

Is there any logic to the gender of body parts or is it just random to be memorized?

In the question "On ________ passé par là?", should there not be an 's', in this particular case, at the end of passé?

Hello, I was thinking whether the same rule applies to this expression above? 

Also, if you're talking about an already finished action, (for example: you hadn't lived somewhere in a long time, but now you started living there) would you modify the verb in the second part of the sentence (for example, "...que je n'ai pas habité" or "...que je n'habite pas") or the "fait" itself, in the first part (ex: ça faisait, ça a fait, etc) or maybe both? I was thinking about it, and I don't know which one is to use and in which case.

Thank you in advance for clarifying

This is perhaps a bit off topic since it isn't about the French grammar point at hand, but the tip regarding the English construction is inaccurate. It says "Whereas in English, you will need to use a subject pronoun after than (... than I (do), you (do), he/she (does)...)". I know there are people who think this is a real rule, but it isn't how anyone actually speaks, and many dictionaries (e.g. Meriam-Webster's) acknowledge the use of object pronouns here.
