American Idioms and Metphors

Idioms are the essence of a culture and of the language of the people. While new ones are created with the young active mind, the traditional ones are actively valid and still in use. However, often the speaker will date himself or herself by the idiom she or he uses. The young sometimes are mystified by some of the older idioms. Please post them as you like.
