slashddos 

The temporary denial-of-service effect resulting from a website being linked to from a story on the front page of the Slashdot (www.slashdot.org) tech news website.

The phenomenon mostly affects websites on lower-capacity servers. They can run for years with low-medium traffic, but with the huge tsunami of requests that come from being linked on Slashdot, such websites can be effectively paralysed for half a day or more.
"Dammit, I can't reach Pranknet."
"Try again tomorrow, dude, the site got slashddos'ed an hour ago."

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.

3 “I can smell ‘er fanny from ‘ere, proper toe rag.”
