I came across an article about phrases that Americans use but are
often not understandable to non-Americans. I've added some to the
list:

Over the moon
Bucket list
Pain in the neck
No pain, no gain
Playing with fire
Piece of cake
White elephant
Couch potato
You're the apple of my eye
Paint the town red
Party pooper
Out of the blue
Beat around the bush
Back and fill
Out of my league
On the other hand
Cut him some slack
Something fishy
You can't have your cake and eat it too
Cold feet
