Americanophile
People who are sickeningly obsessed with American culture. This can be applied to people from other countries, or even people within the country of the United States of America. Often blinded by the inability to see the flaws, these people will stop at nothing in order to try and convince whoever will listen that America is still "the land of the free" and shit. Don't believe them. Generally 30+ year old white men.
Man: Love your USA flag shirt, man.
Man 2: Thanks. God bless America, long live the free. Let freedom ring. America, patriotism, flags, red, white, and blue, baseball, football, sports, beer, etc.
Anything and everything American is perfect. This makes you an Americanophile.

americanaphile
A neologism built analogously to Anglophile, Francophile, and bibliophile, an Americanaphile is a person who admires the American culture including its language, music, movies, books, art, technological innovations, fashion, sports, food, space program, cutting edge medicine, Ivy League universities, natural wonders, tourist attractions such as Disneyland, and the lifestyle; an Americana enthusiast or aficionado.
Although Halloween is no longer celebrated in some neighborhoods due to fears of candy tampering, some Americanaphile teachers in foreign countries still enthusiastically promote and teach about the holiday in their classrooms.
I met a lot of friendly Americanaphiles during my study year abroad. They love the Simpsons, Friends, Seinfeld, That 70's Show, House (the medical show), ER by Michael Crichton, The Muppets and Sesame Street, Snoopy, Calvin and Hobbs, Disney films, Startreck, Star Wars, Terminator film series, Will Smith, and Tom Hanks, Jennifer Aniston, Meryl Streep, Julia Roberts, Madonna, Elvis, Sinatra, Pearl Jam, Aerosmith, The Doors, Van Halen, Guns’N'Roses, The Eagles, Michael Jordan, Lance Armstrong, Rocky Balboa, Muhammad Ali, Indy 500, The Grand Canyon, Rocky Mountains, beautiful beaches, Starbucks, McDonald's, etc.

Americanophobe
A person who fears being similar in any way, shape, or form to that of an American, sometimes, even when it comes to geography, as if somehow a make believe line on a map somehow makes the terrain on both sides of said line any better than the other, not to mention culture directly surrounding said border.
This trait, though not exclusive by any means, is usually reserved for militant Canadians who refuse to believe they resemble their American cousins, or that something American is better then something Canadian.
Canadians are indeed different people, but the similarities are greater than the things that are different. Normal, patriotic Canadians understand this.
An Americanophobe can be found on web forums, spreading their dislike and bad attitude regarding a largly friendly, decent, and humble American population (NOT Government....that's different! lol) to the international community without reason.
Source? I'm a patriotic Canuck!

From an Americanophobe:
I think people pointing out all these similarities are not properly assessing the situation here. The truth is, the culture, economy, society, dialect and everything in between changes at the border. The only thing similar is the geography.
Canada's prairies are night and day with the US Great Plains. Our prairie provinces are arguably the most culturally diverse area of our country, in sharp contrast to the situation in neighbouring areas south of the border.
Besides a similar manufacturing-based economy, Southern Ontario is nothing like the US Midwest.
Montreal is nothing like New England. Neither are the Maritimes, except maybe the importance of the fishing industry.
I can't think of similarities between BC and the US Pacific Northwest. The "liberal" politics (based on an US-centric partisan viewpoint) in BC are reflective of Canada as a whole, not because of geographical proximity to certain parts of the US.
Of course we are heavily exposed to American media, but I don't believe this effects us any more than the rest of the English-speaking world.
Again, besides geography, everything else changes at the border. We are completely different countries.

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.
