Expressions from Everybody Loves Raymond

I just watched an episode of Everybody Loves Raymond and tried to summarize the interesting expressions I learned from it. I am still in season 1. In this episode, Raymond's brother conducteds an IQ test on Raymond couple and his wife. Once Upon hearing the results, Raymond and his wife began to argue about who was smarter. However, it turned out that Raymond's brother set them up for earning extra credits - he made up the scores and the IQ test didn't exist at all!

1 book smarts: describe those who are quick to learn from textbooks. Book smarts: to be taught only by books, and to have no experience.
street smarts: those who are sophisticated and know how to survive. Street smarts: to learn on the street or on the job, but to have no education.
Raymond's father commented himself as a street smart.

2 He is legit.-means he is doing legal business. It is the first time that I have seen "legit", it seems rather colloquial compared to "legal" and "legitimate".   "Legit" means "legitimate", not "legal".

3 Just placate him. = Just pacify him = Just comfort him ( I am not so sure about the last equation.)  You are correct. "Just make him happy".

4 Fudgy- sounds like "yummy". Any difference?  How was it used?  "To fudge" means to falsify results, like faking a business ledger, or faking test results.

5 You are really milking it here. A very interesting usage of "milk" as a verb. It means you are pushing your luck, or wanting "egg in your beer". "Milking it" means to squeeze every drop out of the cow. If its a joke, then to get as much laughter out of the joke as you can.

6 I have been holding this in all day! = I have been bearing it in all day = I had enough of it.(maybe?) How would you express the same meaning?  Expression of anger or merriment. If you have angry words to say to someone, but they are not there, you must "hold it in" until you see them. It is the same with something funny. You "hold it in" until you can share the joke.

7 Did you turn on each other? Here "turn on" means "speak angrily". Also another first time seen phrase for me. There are two meanings. "To Turn On" can mean to sexually excite ("She is pretty. She really turns me on!") , or it can mean to go from being friends to being enemies ("They were friends, but then they turned on each other and started fighting.").

Thank you for any corrections or explanations!

You already had an excellent correction and explanation.  Just wanted to add one more thing... "legit" is short for "legitmate", used in conversation only.  To use it in writing formal essays is a no-no.

As all the questions have been well covered just a couple of comments.

4. Fudgy- Do you eat Fudge in China? It is a very sweet food made with a lot of sugar.

Unlike biscuits it has a soft texture, if you push your finger into it leaves a finger shaped mark. so 'Fudgy' could either mean tasting like 'fudge'  very sweet or the texture - soft and mouldable.

<em>6 I have been holding this in all day!</em>
I would use this with something funny that I can't wait to tell someone, as David said.

From the expressions listed the ones I would consider fairly commonplace and important to know are

<em>He is legit.</em>

<em>Just placate him</em>
<em>You are really milking it here</em>
<em>I have been holding this in all day!</em>
<em>turn on each other</em>

Maybe the others are more common in US English, but not in Europe.
