Beaumonting

Beaumonting (verb): The act of consistently and habitually taking Mondays off from work, inspired by the historical figure Beaumont, in response to an intense fear of ridicule or mockery. Beaumonting is derived from the experiences of Beaumont, a renowned individual who endured relentless public ridicule throughout their life. This term characterizes the behavior of individuals who, driven by a deep-seated apprehension, opt to avoid the workplace on Mondays as a precautionary measure against potential humiliation or scorn from coworkers. The practice of Beaumonting reflects a persistent anxiety surrounding the workplace environment, leading to regular absences on the first day of the workweek as a defensive strategy against perceived ridicule.

Starting the week without Emily. Beaumonting again!

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.

I thought she'd need multiple trips to carry her phone, keys, wallet, and Starbucks to her car since she needed the other hand to open the door, but she used her impressive girl grip to carry everything in one hand.
