Cook County Stop 

Common in Cook County, IL (aka Chicagoland), it's when 2 cars, 1 behind the other, come to a full stop at a stop sign and then both proceed through the intersection together even though the law requires the 2nd car to stop again after the 1st car proceeds.
OFFICER: I'm ticketing you for going through the stop sign without stopping.
DRIVER: But I did stop!
OFFICER: No! A Cook County Stop doesn't count. You were supposed to stop again after moving up to the crosswalk

Crooks County 

Rooks County Kansas. The last guard holding hell from pouring out onto earth. The ones that slip through are held here by the few that are able to live amongst the flik flak flakes. We are the front lines, in the trenches, overrun yet able to contain all the evil in one district...the 9th. You name it, it is here or it has happened. No eye is batted. As we rise, they fall. It is the final hour. We will Plieger it out.
Only in Crooks County.

Fogey/fogy /fougi/ sl. (early 18C+, orig. Scot) old-fashioned, stuck-in-the mud.
Person with old fashioned ideas which he is unwilling to change: Come to the disco and stop being such an old fogey!
You think me an old fogeyand an old tory, his thoughtful voice said. I saw three generations since O’Connel’s time. I remember the famine. Do you know that the orange lodges agitated for repeal of the union twenty years before O’Connel did or before the prelates of your communion denounced him as a demagogue? You fenians forget some things. (James Joyce, Ulysses. Penguin Books,1992. p. 38)
