Default frog

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.

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.

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.

Default Speaking of Frogs... a little trivia!

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.

"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!

Default Absolutely Ribbiting!

I find this thread absolutely ribbiting!

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