Exploding Head Syndrome

A common sensation where one perceives the sound of an explosion, the feeling of a brick hitting their face, or another abrupt sensory impulse that jolts them awake, only to realize they were imagining it. This typically occurs as one is about to fall asleep, when one begins to dream before their body can enter a state of nocturnal atonia.

1: "...gah!!"
2: "Holy shit...! You good, babe?"
1: "Ah... yeah, I'm fine. Just an instance of exploding head syndrome."
2: "Well, good thing your head didn't actually explode, eh?"
1: "Heh... definitely."

Exploding Head Syndrome

The sensation of hearing a very loud noise in the middle of the night, typically when half-conscious. However the sound never actually happened. Sounds range from explosions and gunshots to even human noises. Rarely, there is a visual phenomenon accompanying the noise, such as a flash of light. The exact cause of the syndrome is unknown.

I woke up at 5am from a loud crashing sound, but I think it was just Exploding Head Syndrome!

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.

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.
