Adirondack Commandos

1. A hiking/backpacking social club formed in 1983 by upstate New York residents primarily to seek out forever wild areas of the Adirondack park. Club has established a Cadet corp of trainees who are graded on their performance on trips for a number of years before they allowed full membership. Senior Members attain military rank and can rise to the rank of general now held by the original founding members. COAC is a group of child hikers who are children of current members. The membership is mainly made of residents of Monroe and erie Counties. Hidden waterfalls are the most common trip goal. Senor members also have a annual winter hike in and around Key West, Florida. At this trip Alcohol consumption and review of the Duval Street restrooms is the most time consuming part of the hike.
2. A group appointed by God to right wrongs in the world.

The Adirondack Commandos are one the few groups who have found sliding rock falls on the robinson river.

Adirondack Commando

An elite group of mountain men who are assigned many missions within the Adirondack Mountains in New York State. Sometimes missions draw this team as far south as Key West, Florida. This brave force of men help maintain world peace by purging the world of iniquity. Men want to kill them; women want to kill for them.

I have always wished to be selected into the ACCF so that I too one day could join the ranks of the elite Adirondack Commandos.

flophouse

Any house/apartment/frat house/trailer/etc. which is used for individuals to crash (sleep, chill, hang out, lurk, etc.) for a period of time. In order to "crash", one must not actually live there (e.g. have their name on the lease, own said flophouse, etc.). Flophouses are typically used by college students, drug addicts, transients, vagrants, or other unsavory characters.

A flophouse may also be the home owned by the parents of a college student, who after being away at college, wishes to live as if he/she is still at college (e.g. staying out all night, returning just to crash at mom and dad's house, then leaving again), rather than conforming to the pre-college rules.

Example #1
Dude: (Talking to someone passed out face first on the floor of his college apartment) Hey man, who the hell are you? What do you think this is, a flophouse??

Bro: Sorry dude, I must have passed out for a minute.

Example #2
Mom: Where have you BEEN for the last three days? You come home just to sleep?? What do you think this is, a flophouse??!!

Son: What's your problem? I'm an adult now!

Hate Sink

A person you hate intensely not because they deserve such hatred but because they serve as a focus for your general hatred. A healthy way to dispense with excess animosity.

Jake's not really that big an asshole. He just serves as my hate sink.

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.

Eternity leave

When some resigns or retires from a job, they are on "eternity leave". This can also refer to someone who has passed away, especially someone who worked somewhere for a long time, retired/resigned, then passed away later.

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.
