A Singing Frog 

A Singing Frog is the occurrence in which your attempt to show someone an ongoing symptom/ issue is squandered due to it's coincidental absence.

Most often occurs with:
Computers/ Technological Products, Cars, Mysterious Sounds etc.

Term is derived from the famous Looney Tunes short, "One Froggy Evening," in which a man finds a frog who routinely performs the song "The Michigan Rag" in front of him, yet remains silent and ordinary whenever he attempts to show him to anyone, driving him mad and resulting in his institutionalization.
Example 1:

Man walks into a car dealership after dropping his car off earlier that morning.

Man: So, did you figure out what the noise was?

Mechanic: Sir, there was no sound whatsoever.

Man: What?! What are you talking about, it keeps making this "SHHHISSHHHHARRRRERRRR" sound whenever it drives!

Mechanic: Yes... Of course it does, Sir..

Man: Ugh. I guess it's A Singing Frog.

Mechanic: (Raises eyebrows) What?

Man: Nevermind...

Example 2:

Dude 1: Dude. What is up with your computer screen? It's really fucked up. You should take it in.

Dude 2: Yeah but it only happens randomly. It'll probably not even act up when I take it in.

Dude 1: Ahh. It's A Singing Frog.

Dude 2: What? Shut up.

Dude 1: K...

West Midlands slang word for rockers, bikers, greasers etc. In the late 1980s it was used by the UK music press to refer to a specific scene centered around the bands Pop Will Eat Itself and Crazyhead. The term never found favour with readers of 'the inkies' (Sounds, Melody Maker and the still extant NME) and was soon dropped. Now often used in predominantly working-class areas of the midlands and the north to mean someone who listens to rock-derived music and/or dresses in a manner that suggests they affiliate themselves with rock music of some kind.
Some grebo passed with Sabbath playing on his stereo.
The Poppies are at no. 17? God, a grebo band in the charts!
They're playing nu-metal now, bloody grebos!
