frog's hair

Southernism for something very sparse or fine. Term given to the very fine blades of grass that ring the green in golf. Hence the phrase, "Fine as frog's hair."

I thought I was on the green but I was only in the frog's hair.

quadtwitcher

Someone who constantly gesticulates the double quotation marks with the index and middle fingers of both hands while they talk.

The new lecturer in philosophy was such a quadtwitcher I thought he'd develop carpal tunnel.
