Cheerio Landmine 

When small children drop cheerios all over the floor and an adult later steps on one. Instead of exploding like a landmind, you hear a crunch and the cheerio turns to a fine powder that is almost impossible to clean up without a vacuum.
Heather: "Anna please eat your cheerios in the chair!!!"

Anna: "OK Mommy!" (Running off with cheerios in hand to see what is outside leaving a trail of cheerios.)

Tom: (Wakes from sleep, another long night of taking care of the screaming kids) "Oh I am so tired.." CRUNCH "Oh damn it, I just stepped on a cheerio landmine. Get the vacuum!!! ANNNNAAAAA!!!!!!"

Chavrose 

Someone of humble origins, new to the middle class who makes a big deal about food shopping at Waitrose or M&S. Such types will lose no opportunity to let you know where that "delightful couscous salad" came from and will frequently carry other items in a Waitrose/M&S bag to drive the point home. Normally the dregs of society who get their news from The Daily Mail, they will often scorn Aldi/Lidl shoppers and invite others to share their disgusting insecurity. Regard themselves as "posh", a word and a concept that is alien to anyone with breeding.
That Chavrose was around again this morning, banging on about who came to her dinner party.

Oh God, that awful Chavrose is coming over. I've never met anyone so common.
