water candy

Small ice cubes that you give your kids from your drink at a restaurant or McDonald's or wherever to keep them quiet and happy.

Dad: "Hey, kids, want some water candy?"
Kids: "Yeah!"
Dad: "OK, but now be quiet while I eat my steak." (thinking to himself, "Silly little munchkins.")

different strokes for different folks

An expression meaning that everyone has their own way of doing things or approaching life. Often said in disagreement with how someone else has done things, but can also be said in a neutral or even positive fashion.

(rolling eyes) "He proposed to Susie through a casual email?!? Well, I guess different strokes for different folks."

gramps champ

The overly slow and cautious driver, usually elderly but not necessarily, who manages to stay in front of you in traffic. They turn where you want to turn, exit where you want to exit, and go into the same parking lot you're heading for, and so they are always in the lead. You have trouble passing them because there's only one lane or else traffic volume is just too busy. So much to your frustration, you remain in second place while they undeservingly take the checkered flag!

Jack: "How come you're so late? The movie's about to start!"

Danny: "I was rushing, but I got stuck behind two or three gramps champs on the way here! It was so annoying!"
