Whats with the Asian Apple dancin', then?
The wife does a bit, but she calls it Appalachian. As for standing up, poor old sod can't sit down. She's got the jiggers in her feet!!!

We had chiggers in Kansas and that is quite a jiggle dance!

Appleasian jigger dancing is something Mac users do when they realize how lucky they are not to be using Windows. Happens all the time around here...

I think it's "persons of Chagallian descent" actually, Bill -- or perhaps "realism-challenged individuals"?

And "rubber baby buggy bumpers" to you, Bill

Can't pass up the chance to reply to the appeal to "political correctness."

At least one authority at the U of K entomology department maintains that the chigoe and the common chigger are two separate critters. One bites and leaves, the other burrows. Both are too small to be seen under most circumstances.

Both itch.

There are a lot of "home remedies," none of which work very well. The only satisfactory response to either is to scratch.

When I was in England back around the turn of the Beatles, they were becoming famous as suppliers for things which would actually make the buildings seem to wink, although I nivver did see the mouse-skins! :>)
