What does "Frog" mean
 
I have been reading the TOTV for some time now and see people saying they will be a frog soon.
I did a search and it came up with people saying that but I could not find a defenition.

It means we're here 'till we croak, i.e., full time residents.

Thank you.
That will add meaning to the post that I have been reading.
Now I have something else to wish for!

Ribbit! Since we are on definitions, what exactly do the words "bump" and "bounce" mean in some replies? Thanks!

It keeps the thread at the top of the list as if someone just replied to it. You could actually use any key stroke to keep the thread active. Some people just use a period.

I wonder how many people move to TV intending to be a Frog, yet end up moving elsewhere - maybe back whence they came, or to be nearer their children, or even (horror upon horrors) to a different retirement community?

I won't be among them.

Not me. :)

There are thousands of used homes for sale in TV - did all those people croak, or decide to buy another TV home?

Would I still be considered a "Frog", when I move to the Villages in November - even though I will be living in Ocean City Maryland every summer?

Spending summers elsewhere makes you a snowbird. If you come and go a few times during the year you're a snowflake.

I run into people all the time that are on their second or third home.
