Take a Blighty

To develop an illness or sustain an inury, possibly self inflicted, which will preclude you from work, but you can still enjoy a rich and varied social life.
Orginates from the 1914-18 War, when reluctant English soldiers would shoot themselves in the foot, to get returned to Blighty, or Great Britan, and invalided out of the Army.
Hangovers can count if passed of as food poisoning
-I intend to get so drunk tonight I will phone in sick tomorrow

The Blighttown effect

When the frame rate of a video game plummets to the point where the gameplay on screen becomes reminiscent of a slideshow.

Anna Bligh

1. The current premier of Queensland, Australia since 2007, and possibly the worst.

2. Giving women a bad name.

3. To sell other peoples' belongings without their knowledge.

4. A labor party puppet.

5. A 59 year old woman who thinks she knows what she's doing, when she's actually making a mess of everything she touches.

After Peter Beattie quit mid-term, Anna Bligh took over the position with no say from the public. She became the first female premier in Australia. She got some stuff done, and called an early election in 2009. After she was elected it was obvious that she was either a puppet or an evil mastermind.

She hasn't kept any of her promises, hid her plans from the public, fluoridated water supplies, sold off assets (privatization) and generally ruined Queensland.

Selling assets is one of the worst things to happen to Queensland. For example, selling off the power company made bills rise by hundreds. She also plans to sell of the forests - that can't end well.

Also shortened to Bligh.
Bob: My wife just sold off my watch without me knowing!
Bill: Dude, she pulled a total Anna Bligh.
