Follow Friday

A marketing initiative on social media to encourage people to follow other users. It is not a bad thing since it can increase your follower count and if you're on Instagram, but on Twitter, these are sent out as a form of inconvenience since it allows every tagged person to blast the others tagged with every reply, like, and retweet the tweet gets. This is especially true if the user doesn't know any of the other users tagged and can be a nuisance if the number of users tagged is large.

Chris: Dude, Angie needs to stop adding me to these Follow Fridays on Twitter. I don't even know who half these users are and I always have to deal with the bullcrap of them blowing up my timeline and notification inbox with GIFs.
Kyle: I know man, they're annoying. Remember the time she tagged both of us in the same Follow Friday? At least you can say "bye" and mute the conversation before anyone starts talking dirty or whatever.
Sydney: She tagged me this morning. I blocked her so that I don't have to deal with this again.

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.

Oh I'm sorry, you didn't know that Kelly is on eternity leave? She resigned and moved to Hawaii!

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.
