Flowductive

Characterizing one who can "Go With The Flow", or become so absorbed in and focused on an activity that one feels control over a situation or task, that one experiences a reduction in self-consciousness, and that one's sense of time is distorted to allow them to remain uninterrupted for long durations. Similar to "Productive", but highlights a continuous stream of accomplishment instead of potentially disjointed efficiency with a given time frame. Also known as "Getting Into The Groove", or "Hitting One's Stride". Related to Mihály Csíkszentmihályi's concept of flow, as defined in his book, "Finding Flow: The Psychology of Engagement With Everyday Life" ISBN 0-465-02411-4

"I was so flowductive last night. I sat down to start my paper, and next thing I know, I stood up 8 hours later with 15 pages written."

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.
