Fake Friday 

Day before a day off in the middle of a work week. The term “fake Friday” is used because Friday is the day before the weekend, so “fake Friday” is the day before a day off that typically wouldn’t be regularly scheduled. Fake Friday can often be compared to Christmas because of how exciting is it.
“Do we have school tomorrow?”

Fake Work Friday 

The Friday before Memorial Day when employees who are too lame to take a vacation day, pretend they are really working.
Said employees are actually passing the time catching up on their favorite tv shows online, organizing the apps on their iPhone, purging their Facebook friend list, counting how many staples fit in the stapler, taking a 2 hour lunch, etc.
Anna: "I'm going to go grab a quick lunch and eat at my desk, do you want me to get you anything?"
Max: "No thanks, I'm going to go check out the new Harry Potter movie at lunch."

Fake Application Friday 

When you're unemployed and can't find enough jobs worth applying for to meet your minimum weekly quota to keep receiving unemployment benefits before the weekend. Therefore, on Friday, you apply to jobs that are out of state and/or that you're underqualified for so that you can keep receiving unemployment benefits and still enjoy the weekend as if you were working.
Jamal: "Tyrone, did you find at least 3 jobs worth applying to this week?"

Tyrone: "Nah. I found 1, but it's Fake Application Friday so I'll just apply to these 2 Director level jobs that I know I'll never get so I can at least enjoy the weekend."
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.
