PYIWG

Acronym for "Presume Your Intent Was Good" and having the broader meaning of "I'm going to presume your intent in the message I received from you was good."

Used as a response to emails (and other messages) on those occasions when someone sends you a message that - was - actually, quite insulting... but - equally presumably - wasn't intended to be ... It's just that the sender lacks the necessary forms of good judgment (unless, of course, s/he is the recipient!)

A: I don't think my date likes me
B: I'm sure he does. It's probably just that he's used to dating models.

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.
