That's a good question. I wonder what common idioms have almost exact duplicated in other cultures and languages. Theoretically, "slippery slope" could have a counterpart of the exact same terms, or something similar like "shifting dune". It seems unlikely it would be unchanged, but it also seems like a good candidate for an idiom that may have a fairly direct equivalent.
