Self-induced inner-ear technology, which allows and often leads an individual to believe they are singing at an appropriate pitch, speed, tone, and/or volume in a public location or private karaoke room and is adjusted in direct proportion to the amount of alcohol the individual has consumed.

The effect of beer or any other alcoholic beverage to slow down brain fuction enough to convince a person that the song they are listening to (initially condidered to be crap) is actually moderately enjoyable. The effects usually continue to progress further by the person becoming convinced they can dance to the music, and thus finally resulting in the consumer screaming out onto the dance floor and expressing in a drunken slurr that... "Dude, this song F*$5KING ROCKS!"

After having a few drinks, JR began tapping his foot to the musical catastrophe of Pittsburgh Slim. The beerphones had just set in.
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.

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.

3 “I can smell ‘er fanny from ‘ere, proper toe rag.”

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.
