Frogger
Dodge traffic, hop
Frogger is a 1981 arcade video game where players guide a frog across a busy highway and river to reach home.
The frog must dodge traffic and hop on floating logs and turtles.
The name has become shorthand for any dangerous crossing: Getting across that intersection is like playing Frogger.
