Jack: Have you ever been to Japan? Paul: Yes, why do you ask? Jack: (I was) just wondering

just wondering 

the biggest FUCKING lie of ALL time. If anyone ever says "just wondering" you have the right to black mail and interrogate that son of a bitch until you uncover the truth. ESPECIALLY if it's about someone you might like.

Just wondering 

Bad excuse to cover their true intention. Although it's easy to acknowledge that they are "just wondering," people use this phrase all the time for cretinous reason. I don't know.
(Ingame, random chat from game friend): Just wondering how old are you? Just wondering, really...

Just Wonderin’ 

An expression used when an associate (most commonly a suspicious girl friend or wife), has been seriously contemplating your possible (likely) infidelity or unfaithfulness. This expression usually is in reference to your whereabouts within the previous 24 hours, before the gf/wife has been able to make any real discoveries. This, leaving her at this point, just wonderin’.
Girlfriend: Hi baby, I’m so happy your home... where did you go after work last night?
You: I cane home.
Girlfriend: No, I mean before you cane home?
You: I did a few things, why, what’s with all the detective work?
Girlfriend: Oh, just wonderin’.
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.
