I Wanna Be The Guy

A very challenging (To the point of insane frustration) freeware video game made by Kaiyan. The idea is you take the place of "The Kid" and travel through worlds to kill and claim the title of "The Guy." The game uses a metroidvania style map, as in you can freely travel up, left, down, and right to explore a giant map while the game play can be described as Megaman-esque (You are able to jump and shoot..that is just about it). Most of the areas, bosses, and music are borrowed from classic video games such as Tetris, Mario, Street Fighter, and even Metal Gear. It should be noted once again that the game is frustratingly hard but is also a lot of fun if you happen to enjoy old video games. Google "I wanna be the guy" and click on the first link to download it. Note: There are harder games out there, probably the worst I've played was the Super Mario Bros. hack named "Super Mario Forever" not recommended..not fun.

I Wanna Be The Guy

Was once considered one of the hardest games of all time due to its ludicrous trial-and-error gameplay, combined with bullet hell, misleading graphics, traps that are impossible to find out without dying to them first, the ability to die AFTER THE ENDING CREDITS, requiring you to beat the brutal final boss all over again...you get it.

It was released around the same time as the first Kaizo Mario; together, they created a genre of video games centered around being as infuriatingly difficult as possible.

Nowadays, it's still considered hard, but far from one of the hardest games ever. If you know the game inside and out, it's actually not terribly difficult. That, and the numerous fangames that completely and utterly trounce it in difficulty make it quite outdated.

Here's to I Wanna Be The Guy (and Kaizo Mario)

For making people wanna tear their hair out.

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.
