squirrel

An unfortunate derogatory term applied to the elderly suffering from the later stages of such diseases as Alzheimers. It refers to the fact that they forget how to do simple tasks such as swallow, and so they chew their food and hide it away in their pockets or handbags, much as a squirrel tucks a bit away in their cheek.

The old lady was a squirrel. Pockets full of mashed potatoes, and handbag of creamed corn.
