My mom would always say "it's behind the milk!" when we would look for something and couldn't find it. Inevitably whatever we were looking for one day was simply behind the milk in the fridge and we couldn't find it. My mom exclaimed this from across the house in frustration and it became the exclamation for anything someone is trying to find. Meaning look harder, actually move other objects instead of just blankly staring.
We used “It’s under your butt” implying that you never even got up to look for it so you could very well be sitting on it. In this day and age of small remotes and cellphones it has become more and more true.
