May Two-Four

Queen Victoria's birth day, May 24th, is a statutory holiday in Canada and the first long weekend since Easter. It is the traditional weekend during which one opens 'the camp' (cottage), and signifies the start of summer (and Blackfly season) in Canada. The reference to 'two-four' rather than 'twenty-fourth' is a Canadian inside joke refering to the obligatory case(s) of 24 bottles of beer, or 'two-fours' required to celebrate the opening of the camp and to steel one's courage against the blackflies and the mice that will have settled into the camp since it was closed in the fall.

"Did ya go to the Beer Store and get a couple of two-fours for camp? It's May two-four, eh, and there'll be a lineup!"

May Two-Four

A Canadian public holiday, also called Victoria day. It is known for a weekend where Canadian private school kids head to montreal to get shitfaced at clubs and hit on by creepy old men.

A definition of privilege and entitlement but most gladly own it.

Person 1: Hey, I'm so excited for may two-four. I've never been to Montreal.
Person 2: Hold up, you're like 14. This is for grade twelves only.
Person 1: It's okay, I'll just slip them a few twenties. Plus, I'm hot so it'll all be fine. *flips hair*

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.
