I appreciate being informed of the language, but I can assure you that
queso
is that feeling you get right before you hurl/barf/slash/upchuck or dislodge the contents of your alimentary canal out through the upper end

Well, not really. Queasy is one of the central characters in Moby Dick.

No, that would be Alberta.

Quebecis what one does when one argues with another over something trivial.

You people should stop the quibbling (but not the game); everybody knows
gridiron
is the state of affairs when it comes to traffic flow for The Grand Central Parkway, Northern Boulevard, the Long Island Expressway and The Van Wyck Expressway whenever the Mets have a home baseball game at Shea Stadium (it’s double-murder if it happens during the tennis event known as the U.S. Open at the National Tennis Center ).

I don’t know whether he liked sports, but Gridlock was an elderly, folksy attorney on a TV series. The show was particularly popular with Grandpa Simpson and other residents of the Springfield Retirement castle.

The term predates firearms. Flintlock was a modern stoneage family. Perhaps they invented the gun of which you speak.

On the contrary I believe you will find that a Flintstoneis someone who is tight-fisted with his money.

It’s interesting you should bring this up. Frederick Koehler, playing Chip, Allie’s son on Kate & Allie committed the same errpr you just did. A
skinflick
is actually the tendency of an alternating electric current (AC) to distribute itself within a conductor so that the current density near the surface of the conductor is greater than that at its core. That is, the electric current tends to flow at the “skin” of the conductor. The skin effect causes the effective resistance of the conductor to increase with the frequency of the current. Skin effect is due to eddy currents set up by the AC current.
During the original airing, Freddie thought the little girl he was hesitant to take to the movies would call him this name and once the preceding definition was exosed, well, hilarity ensued.

Although you beat me to the punch on this one, I must correct you to say that
skin tint
actually refers to the term used as slang for sexually explicit or pornographic comics and animation, particularly Japanese anime, manga and computer games.

I was so confused I had to look this up. After I Googled, I learned why I was so baffled. Turns out that
skin flux
is simply what you get when you have a lot of people, liquid, or whatever entering a location all at once.
No, that’s a gastro-intestinal thing – acid influx.

No, reflux is an involuntary response to a stimulus, like when the doctor whacks you on the knee with his little hammer.

reflex
