Nostalgia Bait

Pulling in old characters/concepts and ideas from classic movies/tv shows and putting them into new media to sucker in their fans and to make them believe something is "good" because the familiar is there.

Person 1: Wow, Star Wars Rogue One is so good. I clapped and cheered when Darth Vader showed up. R2 D2 and C3po also appeared and therefor this is good Star Wars Content.

Person 2: I can't believe you fell for the Nostalgia Bait.

Nostalgiabation

Occupying too much of your time with nostalgia.

I was supposed to meet up with Tim in town, but I got caught up in nostalgiabation by watching old cartoons from my childhood. He waited in town for four hours, until he was kidnapped by a homeless man.

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.
