divert to or use in a role different from the usual or original one
Hym "This ☝️ is what 'Co-opted' means in the context of what I said. That's what you're doing and YOU SAY YOU ARE DOING IT. In saying that 'The modern conceptualization of sanity as an internal quality is wrong.' You're effectively saying that the general consensus is wrong and that YOU are correct. That's called diverting to a role different from the original one. It marks a change in the conceptualization of sanity BROUGHT ON BY YOU SHIT-HEAD. God you motherfuckers are dumb! "

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.”
