magic sponge 

The quite ordinary sponge used by physiotherapists to treat injured soccer players on the pitch. After applying the damp sponge the player is miraculously healed. This leads many to speculate that the player was only feigning injury in order to gain advantage or a penalty. The sponge is merely a prop to give the impression that some treatment has taken place.
That effing Ronaldo was rolling around in agony as though his leg was broken in five places, then the physio rubs him with the magic sponge and he's fine! There's less diving at my local pool.

Magic Growing Sponge Egg Toy 

A small pill made up of a compressed sponge inside a gel pill. When placed in water the casing dissolves, the sponge grows, and all delight! The sponge is often colored and cut into fun shapes, such as animals or dinosaurs.
I bought a pack of magic growing sponge egg toys for my kids, but they ate them all. They've been puking rainbow sponge dinos for hours.

Hate Sink 

A person you hate intensely not because they deserve such hatred but because they serve as a focus for your general hatred. A healthy way to dispense with excess animosity.
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.
