Fan Circuit 

It's the small press publishing term for FanFiction.net circles who emerge from here; some publishers had decided to get on the site and feature their own takes on fandom. One of the writers in the circuit was published for less than year under the encouragement of his wife, a small publisher in Seattle who also published the controversial writer who emerged on Quakes And Storms: A Natural Disaster Anthology. One of the writers who also been published emerged after seeing The Statue as Fanlore.org followed her some as she brought one of the outings to AuthorsDen.com. Fandom_Wank it's safe to say were not pleased when they found out fanwriters were getting published in the small press along side original fiction writers from out of the box years before mommy porn emerged.
You'd be surprised in the mid-2000s who emerged from here, as the indie publishing circles would have a weird look from where it's known as The Fan Circuit . An Archive Of Our Own points out some of them. As what they failed to realize that some of them were published on the semi-professional circles since 2002 as a few appeared in the e-pages of Twilight Times. The one who is known as Joni designed the logo for the historic e-zine from the 1990s. Her print debut in the short form appeared on a Pensacola based anthology called "Reality Check: An Anthology Of Horror." Where she did the final edits to the story that's an alternate to the short story that the synopsis was for in the anthology known as "House of Spiders." Fanlore.org followed her Fan Circuit ties as she introduced a piece to AuthorsDen.com in the 2002 era as her original fiction output in the era was more high fantasy. Her short story output was Gothic Horror as she was the other Gothic Horror delegate in Reality Check.

A trip to a grocery store, convenience store, or gas station for the sole purpose of buying an excessive amount of junk food and sugary drinks, usually with friends. A chud run often happens late at night and ends with everyone involved hating themselves afterwards.

flophouse 

Any house/apartment/frat house/trailer/etc. which is used for individuals to crash (sleep, chill, hang out, lurk, etc.) for a period of time. In order to "crash", one must not actually live there (e.g. have their name on the lease, own said flophouse, etc.). Flophouses are typically used by college students, drug addicts, transients, vagrants, or other unsavory characters.

A flophouse may also be the home owned by the parents of a college student, who after being away at college, wishes to live as if he/she is still at college (e.g. staying out all night, returning just to crash at mom and dad's house, then leaving again), rather than conforming to the pre-college rules.
Example #1
Dude: (Talking to someone passed out face first on the floor of his college apartment) Hey man, who the hell are you? What do you think this is, a flophouse??

Bro: Sorry dude, I must have passed out for a minute.

Example #2
Mom: Where have you BEEN for the last three days? You come home just to sleep?? What do you think this is, a flophouse??!!

Son: What's your problem? I'm an adult now!

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.

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.
