down the beach

"Down the Beach" is a phrase originating from California surf culture, used to define someone who is a kook, generally meaning that they should beat it and go surf down the beach. In context, it is often shouted indirectly, as a statement to your friends or other surfers indicating there are kooks in the water. Hopefully the kooks hear you and get the message. On occasion it is shouted directly at the person, which basically means beat it and go surf somewhere else.

ex. 1: "Down the Beach!" (or just DTB)

ex. 2: "Oh shit, check out who's paddling out; Down the Beach!"

ex. 3: That guy is so down the beach (often abbreviated as DTB).

ex 4: "Yeah, check out this guy - DOWN THE BEACH!"

ex 5: "Fuckin' beat it kook, Down the Beach"

kicking dead whales down the beach

Engaging in an extremely slow process.

Maurice was undertaking the challenge of counting all the hairs on his body. I told him he might as well be kicking dead whales down the beach.

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.
