My family uses frog & toad - also 'billy lids' or just 'lids' for the collective quantity of small children present. Cockney rhyming slang. frog & toad = road. 'Wigs on the green' is another one my family uses for an argument. Or just - wigs up! if we see a fight develop. That one's not rhyming slang.

I wonder if that’s where ‘wig out’ came from?
