That's what I was thinking.  So we can sneak back into the coffee lounge now
that it's quiet....

Now that the riffraff have gone back to where they came from, perhaps people
will come in here who want to discuss playground slang.

While it's not exactly playground slang, I recalled some colorful
expressions from an old family friend the oher day when I was having a
"Remember so-and-so" session with my father.
This man was a regular visitor to our house in my childhood. In those days,
not many people had cars, and not many houses had parking space. This man
rented parking space nearby, and usually dropped in on his way home from
parking his car of an evening. Some of his doozies
"It sticks like shit to a blanket."
"It was like pushing shit uphill with a pointed stick."
"Up shit creek without a paddle."
In those days, such language was consider quite risque, and my mother was in
a constant state of blush........

I might have to change my name if I ever want to go to certain other groups
again...

reminds me of a guy I knew who described lovemaking with his wife as
'poling a log upstream'...... they divorced eventually.....

I'm not sure if yours are in the dictionary but if not I'll add them
when I get round to updating it next :)
