hand waving

Also written handwaving. In formal conversation / speech omitting important details about the subject matter either because 1) the audience is perceived to be ignorant 2) the speaker themselves is not well-informed on the subject matter or 3) a little from column A and a little from column B.

The math professor only gave a partial description of the proof as she used hand waving to get through the most difficult part and told the students to study the remained of the proof at home.

duck wearing a necktie

When a person would like to comment on a useless feature on something, he or she can compare it to a duck wearing a necktie.

Cut out vents and a fox tail on the antenna? That's like a duck wearing a necktie.

Wearing the same socks

To be on the same page; To be on the same wavelength; To see eye to eye; To be of one mind

Andre and I had some issues that needed resolving, but after our meeting earlier we're definitely wearing the same socks.

wearing the cool pants

Doing something well.

Could be used when talking about anything from pwning at a video game to outmanuvering an opponent in a basketball game.

"Did you see how badly Joe beat Levi?"

"Yeah, he's totally wearing the cool pants this round."
