axe to grind
To have a grievance with someone, especially where one feels the need to seek damaging retribution.
The phrase probably originates from the act of sharpening an axe with a grinding wheel, with the intent (in this definition) to get revenge on someone by maiming or killing them. ;)

"Five years ago that guy stole my idea for an invention and made tons of money off it! I've had an axe to grind with him ever since. My latest invention will put him out of business for sure, you'll see! Muwahahahaha!!"

unspecified medical condition
A phrase you can use to get out of a jail sentence, note that you must be Paris Hilton rich for this to be effective.
Paris Hilton: I got to party at home in my mansion while I served my jail sentence because I had an unspecified medical condition; that's hot!

seven minute silence
An awkward moment of silence when no one has anything to say which occurs after seven minutes of conversation.
My date and I were chatting really well then, out of the blue, the seven minute silence hit; bummer.

chocobo
Seems many people are forgetting to mention that this is a character from the Final Fantasy video game series. It's like the dodo in some respects: it isn't real! But yes, it is a big bird, probably based on the ostrich.
