Cucina italiana 

L'arte di cucinare propria della penisola italiana, comprende piatti famosi in tutto il mondo (pasta e derivati, pizza ecc.). È copiata con disperato furore all'estero, con risultati per lo più ridicoli.
"Di nuovo pasta col ketchup!! Mai uno che conosca la cucina italiana"

"Ehi l'altro giorno ho rimorchiato Elena dopo aver cucinato per lei" " La cosa non mi stupisce, del resto quel piatto di amatriciana è autentica CUCINA ITALIANA"

Hate Sink 

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.
Jake's not really that big an asshole. He just serves as my hate sink.

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.
