Examples from texts

Dad used to say lots of funny things-like he was speaking his own language sometimes. Twenty-three skidoo, salad days, nosy parker, bandbox fresh, the catbird seat, chocolate teapot, and something about Grandma sucking eggs.
Папа любил всякие смешные словечки – иногда казалось, он говорит на своем, понятном ему одному языке: «опять двадцать пять», «молодо‑зелено», «любопытная Варвара», «торопулька», «завидки», «спиногрыз» и что‑то про яйца, которые не учат курицу.
