Econopocalypse 

A place in time when all economic structures cease to function, according to the 502nd law of thermoeconomics:

All economic systems tend towards ever greater accumulation of increasingly insubstantial pseudo-scientific jargon; a stake of play that will ultimately result in the violent collapse and subsequent explosion of the econoverse in a molten halo of flaming bullshit.

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.
