Bob Hope 

Slang for a sucker at the poker table because he loses ("donates") all his money.
Nick is such a Bob Hope; all he does it go all-in.

Bob Hope Spot 

A term used when one receives a close parking spot that is not handicapped. Bob Hope was an old man, but not worthy of said handicapped spot, resulting in him attempting to get the closest spot possible. Can be altered with the addition of relatives (i.e. aunt, niece) to describe further spots.
"Yes! I've got a Bob hope spot!"

"Wow. This is Bob Hope's uncle's granddaughter's spot!"

You haven't got a Bob Hope 

To be told that you have absolutely no chance of what you're asking for is going to happen.
Colleague 1: "I wander if the boss will let me go home half hour early.
Colleague 2: "lol, you haven't got a Bob Hope mate!"
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.
