Oro Valley

A suburb of Tucson, Arizona that gets its name from gold found in the area (oro means gold in Spanish). Oro Valley has been named one of the best places to live, launch a business, and raise a family by Fortune Small Business, Family Circle, Money Magazine, Nick Jr., and Grey House Publishing. It has three top 5% schools in the US, one of them being rated as the best public high school in the US by Newsweek Magazine. It also has one of the lowest crime rates in the country and a high median household income. The Tucson area's only five-star resort, the Ritz-Carlton, is a few miles away from Oro Valley.

OV has been dubbed the "upscale tech mecca" because of its 10 high-tech firms and associated scientists, doctors, and engineers. It is comprised mostly of young families, bored middle-class teenagers, and retirees with winter homes. The area is a mix of cookie cutter homes, semi-custom estates, and multi-million dollar mansions.

"I wanted to live in a safe area with nice homes, plentiful shopping, and great mountain views, that's why I moved to Oro Valley."

Oro Valley

A suburb of Tucson that consists of a mixture of cookie-cutter subdivisions and random old houses. It is North of Tucson, South of Catalina, and East of Marana. You can't really walk to anywhere fun, so to have fun, you need to have the ability to drive, or know somebody who does, or have access to some kind of drug or alcohol.

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.
