Sky reminder effect
When the current look of the sky reminds you of some kind of media or situation of some sort and it gives you a positive outlook on your current experience with the way the sky looks right now.
I was walking and looked up and noticed the sky was pure black and the city was all lit up. It reminded me of Need For Speed Carbon in so many ways! I had a good evening out for the rest of the night due to a really great sky reminder effect that happened to me.

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.
