Kit Car

Normally a replica of a historical car built from a store bought kit and fitted to the frame of an already existing vehicle.
While classic cars are popular, modern cars such as Dodge Vipers, Lamborghini Diablos and even original designs can also be kit cars. Other such kit cars are the class 5-1600 Baja Bugs which use parts from donor VW Type 1 Bugs to build an off-road dune buggy.

kit car

This is a method to import a car (specifically from Japan.) It is basically the act of stripping a import car (that does not meet U.S. standards) down to its frame (taking out engine, wiring harness, interior, etc) and shipping the frame to America. After shipping the frame, the person then proceeds to individually ship the interior parts and after they are collected, replace them in the car. Now this is not the most legal route to go, but for example if you ship an import car over here(America), it will not have a valid VIN (vehicle identification number), so you will need to have a US spec donor car (buy one from junkyard, as long as you get the title, you're OK)...next step is to take every single VIN# plate off the wrecked car, and transfer it onto the imported car. As long as you don't go around bragging about how you got the car legalised, you'll be fine. IF police finds out what you've done...the car will be impounded and either shipped back to Japan (or wherever you got it) or most likely destroyed, and you will be facing number of fines and possibly some jail time.

The term "kit" is coined from the act of the way a kit car is put together... everything is put together individually, starting with the frame.

Hey I was wondering if I can get my Toyota Aristo into America via the kit car method

Juan Carlos Kit

A very famous meme in Brawl Stars. In worlds 2024, in the 1st set of the 2nd quarterfinals match, which was HMBLE vs Pioneers, coach of Pioneers Filip47 told Secondbest to pick the brawler Kit, shocking everyone. Secondbest swapped with Juan Carlos, meaning that he would play Kit instead. Pioneers was easily defeated and Juan Carlos got 0 kills and 11 dps.

Person 1: What was the worst fail in worlds 2024?
Person 2: Juan Carlos Kit and it isnt even close.

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.
