Escuincle

Used a lot in Mexico for kids but probably translates best as brats. Likely derived from iztcuintli, the Nahuatl word that names Mexico's poodle size almost hairless dog. Many Nahuatl words have entered Mexican Spanish like this, there 'tl' changed to the 'cl', the longer 'i' (ee) to the shorter 'e' (eh) more easily pronounced today. Used today in easy movement between English and Spanish in US Mexican communities...

¡Ya escuincles! ¡Dejen de chingar!

Enough brats! Stop fucking around! (or more likely, bothering us).

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.
