Fremesis

The one person (or thing) in your life who gives you an endless supply of reasons to hate them but who you inexplicably cannot imagine life without. An even more vehement title than frenemy. Could be used to describe the relationship between Magneto and Professor X.

Hard-boiled, lonely detective: "Damn you, liquor. You've ruined my marriage and chased off everyone close to me, but you make life worth living. I love you, my fremesis."

Toe Rag

A toe rag was originally a foot wrapping used, since mediaeval times up until the mid-nineteenth century, to protect the foot from chafing by boots or shoes. As these were, quite literally, rags they weren’t usually washed, and so with use they became very smelly until they were thrown away. Because of the similarity in smell, toe rag also became the name applied to dried, salted cod or other things with a strong, unpleasant, fishy smell. It didn’t take that long before the name was applied to someone who was an obnoxious, unpleasant OIC.

1 “Socks! Those aren’t socks you smelly git, they’re toe rags!”
2 “What have you been cooking? Smells like toe rag!”
3 “I can smell ‘er fanny from ‘ere, proper toe rag.”
4 That Heale Malcolm is a right toe rag.

With regrets I would like to inform you that my boss is officially on eternity leave. I will never see or hear them again. Ever.
