I love the way the CC Wiki implies that sentient beings have poor navigation skills:
Fortunately, [Teeth's] navigation skills are poor. The teeth has an almost sentient programming, which makes it the most complex monster in Chip's Challenge.

Are my mom and I the only ones that used to refer to the teeth as gators? 
Then again, we also used to call the chip socket the "gray thing" and the exit "the blue".

Awesome! But then what did you call the water tiles, if the exit was blue?
And actually, if the Teeth were real animals, I think they're closer to gators than frogs...

Water was water. I think the teeth, socket, and exit were the only tiles that our names for them were way off from what everyone else calls them, except maybe traps (which we called bear traps) and thieves (spies)...

I grew up with "Frog" as that is what my grandma called them. So frog it is for me. Usually I say "teeth" though as that is what the majority seems to refer to them as.

I called them bear traps too! I'm not sure why I got excited about that, but I did.
It's the little things, you know.

Frogs, though I always called them teeth when I was younger.

I just realized that this is probably the only exception to the "I called everything as it was known in the Help file when I was younger" bit I posted in the other thread. 
When I first read the file, I was confused when it said "Teeth chase you, chattering all the way." Maybe it was just that I was still learning proper English and that it would've been much less confusing had the Help file said "The tooth monster chases you..." So for a while, I just called it "The Monster." But I don't really have much of a preference these days.

You also call recessed walls "pop-up" walls AFAIK, is that what is written in the help file?
