It's not a colloquialism, but my grandma always uses "what's her face" to refer to women whose name she forgets, or doesn't care to remember. "Felicia" is the term my friends and I use for names we forget, or don't care to remember.

My grandmother said something was "elite" the other day. Did not know how to respond.

Growing up, my grandfather would call my cousins and I a "wampus kitty" out of affection. To this day, I still have no idea what the hell a wampus kitty is.

Could they be a distant relative of the wampa from Star Wars?

A wampa mixed with a big cat... mother of God, that's scary as hell.

It's a turn on the phrase "kattywampus" which means awkward or unorganized. My gramps always had a cat he called Wampus.

Well hell, didn't even think of that. All these years and I never thought of making that connection.

Whenever my grandma gives us grandkids money she always says "Don't spend it or lose it but have a good time." I have never known what it means but it has an amazing rhythm to it.

"I used to walk eight miles to school, uphill both ways, into the wind, every day."

Relevant only if it will forever be the standard "You kids have it easy these days" dad complaint.

Must be a local adaptation here. In Canada I've always heard, "Walk 5 miles to school, uphill both ways in 3 ft of snow."

My dad uses snow, but I know it's a circumstantial element of the expression so I omitted it.
