US Slang Expressions

Hi all!

   I've been lurking for a few weeks but I had to chime in on this 
one.

   "Smile and Nod"- seems to be popular around these parts. Refers 
to just accepting something aggravating or that you disagree with 
because it's not worth arguing over.

    "Jeepers Crow"- my own personal instead of swearing phrase.

    "Senility Moment"- not being able to remember something you 
know, no matter what your age

     "Wizard of Oz Moment"- My personal version of a senility 
moment. Picture the scarecrow saying "If I only had a brain, if I 
only had a brain..."

      "Rugrat"- small child, sometimes referring to a mischievous 
child.

      "Munchkin"- a small child.

      "Munchrat"- my own term. A cross between a rugrat and a 
munchkin. Used affectionately.

      "TTFN"- Ta Ta For Now, an expression used by Tigger in Winnie 
the Pooh.
