Refirement: When your employer is so tired of dealing with an employee they escort the employee from the property in front of their peers and permanently ban the employee from ever returning to the property. Additionally, the employer is more than willing to provide a lump sum settlement to simply never have to see/deal with the employee again. This is often seen in government positions since they are using tax payers funds.
The traditional end of career celebrations are not held and gold watches are not given.
“Refired” employees typically have no friends in the workplace and are hated their fellow employees. This often leads to all other employees celebrating like the monks celebrating when Ace Ventura exited the monastery in “Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls”
Mr. Gray was forced into refirement from the municipal government. No gold watch and walked to the door and given a check.
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.
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.
