O.k......I know what a 'snowbird' is but what the heck is a 'snowflake' and a 'frog'?

Are there other terms of endearment I need to know? I want to fit in the next time we get to TV :D

Everyone's definition is different. To me, a snowbird is someone who comes to visit for an extended period of time. A snowflake is someone who comes occasionally for a visit. A seasonal resident owns a home in TV but usually owns another home up north.

A frog lives full time in TV and will be here until they croak.

You'll figure out the terminology as you read the threads. "In The Bubble" and "On Campus" refer to being "on the ground" in TV. Drinking the Koolaid refers to the feeling of helplessness that afflicted most of us when we first visited TV, and somehow ended up buying a home, often unplanned!

Don't worry about "fitting in". Just be yourself, everyone else is already taken.

As Vice President of The Villages Airheads, I am very happy to see your proper definition of an Airhead! :a040:

Small point: we prefer to be capitalized, as above; it signifies that we are to some degree important! :a040:

Some folks insist that, being airheads, we must be flaky, or weird, or unstable, or fools, or someone less than bright. Such definitions are probably equally as valid, in the long run, as that most of us use supplemental oxygen!
