Pardon my acronym ignorance but what does "Frog" translate too? I intend on being a permanent resident before the first leaf falls from the tree or preferably before the Bills take the field in their new uniforms.

I am guessing maybe future residents of G??????????? Golf courses?

You live in The Villages until you croak!

And to complete the cycle...

Snowbirds are those who live in their personally-owned TV property during the winter.

Snowflakes are those who live in a rented TV property during the winter.

AHHHHH I didn't know hat a "Snowflake" was!!! Anytime someone calls me a "flake" of any kind... I kinda figure it's not a good thing! :evil6:

If you are going to be in TV year round, you will be a "frog." And congratulations to you on your upcoming move to TV. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe snowflakes are also those people who own a home in TV and visit their TV home periodically throughout the year, but they also have another home outside of TV.

Who said "Plunk your magic twanger, Froggy!" in a kids show back in the '50's? I'd go and say "no using Google", but nobody'd probably listen to me anyway!

And when following an elder in a car and all you see is a small globe of white hair that is called a Q-tip.

I THINK it stands for Friendly Retired Old Goats.

"Snowflake" definition: Someone who comes to TV off and on, regardless of the time of year, usually for short stays. TV home ownership is not a requirement.

Good one Gracie:

Frog means that once you move to TV, you are planning to stay there until you croak.

I never rented but would occasionally visit our home as work would allow. Now I am a snowbird!

I find this thread absolutely ribbiting!

"Nuclear Ribbit!" I wonder if anyone ever heard this song played at either of the squares?

:wave: Mrsanborn,

Here's a summary, short and sweet:

Frog: Is full-time here till they croak (Plus what GG said)

Snowbird: Winters here

Snowflake: Gets here whene'r they can any ole' time o'year.

Glad you asked. It's your rite as a Villager to know. ;)

In our neighborhood the "snowflakes are referred to as "butterflies". I guess migrating back and forth all year long.

I've got a gang
You've got a gang
Everybody's got to have a gang
But there's only one real gang for me
Good old Andy's Gang

A poster the other day referred to us as "Wrinklies." That one tickled me, too!

Wasn't the "Plunk your magic twanger froggie" on the show where they said "I'm Buster Brown. I live in a shoe. This is my dog Tide. He lives in here, too!" I'm pretty sure, between 2,000 of us we can pull this together!

I thought that dog's name was Tige.

OK, Gracie Girl, I'll cede that one to you! Wasn't it the Buster Brown Show on Saturday mornings? Afterthought...we actually had a restaurant here until recently called The Magic Twanger. Nobody had a clue but us old F#$%s.

I think it was Buster Brown who told Froggy to plunk his magic twanger. Buster Brown "lived in a shoe...." can't remember the rest of the jingle.
