my two favourite expressions du jour are:
"sour quince log"
indicative, taken from the "who shot mr burns?" episode of "the simpsons"; to describe anything unappetizing or disagreeable, e.g. hilary clinton or that tv show in which meredith tergiversates endlessly between mcstinky and mcsleazy ("grey's anatomy").
"the puck is in the mail"
a variation of "the cheque is in the mail" dodge, employed when one is forgetful or behindhand in some business. originates from the months i have spent waiting for a special ice hockey puck to be shipped from canada.
