1) This term is commonly used by residents of Columbia, MD. It refers to the many expensive, well-maintained, and well-designed playgrounds installed in the community's recreational parks and along its paved paths. Since they are often partly secluded or located in the woods, they also serve as sites for teenage indulgence.

2) Additionally, "tot lot" occasionally acts as a subtle signifier that the speaker lives in or is familiar with Columbia, MD as the term is rarely used elsewhere. This can be surprising to long-time residents.
1) "The cops nearly busted us for drinking last night at the tot lot."

2) "I hadn't realized that Dr. Jones grew up in Columbia until he told me he took his kids to the tot lot last weekend."

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!”

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.
