oh my Arceus

(interjection) An interjection used among Pokémon fanatics to replace "Oh my God".

The reason why Arceus replaces God is simple: Arceus is the Pokémon responsible for the creation of the Sinnoh region, and possibly the whole universe (Pokéverse, if you may) according to myths around the world of Pokémon. His legend dates back to Generation 4 (Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum). Arceus is also called "The Original One".

Arceusism is a polytheistic belief system. According to said myth/religion, Arceus is said to be born from an egg, emerging from a vortex, and then created the Legendaries of time, space, and antimatter: Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina, respectively. When mankind started inhabiting Sinnoh, he created three Pokémon to give humans knowledge, emotions, and willpower.

The term, in real life, is used as jargon among fans, as reversed verisimilitude to the Pokémon universe. It is also used online where "Oh my God" might provoke a number of religious and/or sensitive people.

"I just got the new Pokémon game!"
"Oh my Arceus! Can I see?"

Oh My Arceus

1. A phrase created by Pokéfans to replace Oh My God because they have sold their souls to the Pokés and must worship their lord and master Arceus, who has yet to grace the American nor the Waponese audience as of yet. Arceus is only know of through leet skillz. When the day finally comes that their satanic God comes forth from the Spear Pillar to the hands of fat boys playing their Nintendo DSs, the world will finally burn in the fires of hell.

2. An exclamation said when you fall flat on your fat white ass and have played too much Pokemans. Also cried out when you get asswhipped with a birch rod] for "trading" *cough cough little theives cough cough* Pokémon Cards when you should be learning how to count to thirteen and spell your name. Related to Arse.

1. Oh My Arceus! What in Girantina's Realm is he thinking?

2. "Oh My Arseus! Thwat hwurt! Gwiv mee back my Pokeman cards!"

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.

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.

girl grip

The ability girls and women have developed to hold several items at once in one hand. The skill has been developed due to the lack of pockets in women's clothing.

I thought she'd need multiple trips to carry her phone, keys, wallet, and Starbucks to her car since she needed the other hand to open the door, but she used her impressive girl grip to carry everything in one hand.
