I love analyzing my native language, American English, and helping non-native speakers make sense of it. I've been doing this for fun with friends who speak English as a second language for nearly 30 years. I would like to first thank A.D., C.F. and E.A., and now P.G., for inspiring me to finally write this stuff down!

See you later, alligator!
'See you later, alligator!' is something parents and grandparents say to little kids. The response from the child is, "After while, crocodile!"
Example:
-See you later, alligator!
-After while, crocodile!
