Tenerife 

n. geogr. 1) an island off the west coast of Africa in Atlantic belonging to Canary Islands, colonial Spain. Tenerife is the largest and most populated of the group of seven islands.
2) favorite vacation spot for British, German and Norwegian tourists, mainly drunken students and elder folks on a budget. In recent years architecturally developed and intelligently marketed as a civil getaway for normal people. As the sod's law would have it, in recent years also effected badly by the climate change with weather changing from sunny 300 days to 5 hours of sun/3 hours of rain/365 days of being ripped off by taxi drivers for no particular reason.
3) an easy place to hide for accused Scottish murderers, Serbian generals running from International Tribunal charges, drug addicts, drug dealers, alcoholics, lazy asses, minor gay celebrities from Estonia and various other questionable characters.
You don't feel like college, don't want to work for more than five hours a day, running from court charges and can't last a day without coke? Tenerife is just the place for you.

Tenerife disaster

On the 27th march, 1977, two 747s collided and 583 people died. They were a KLM 747-206B and a Pan Am 747-121. The cause was low visibility, rushing to take off and poor communication. 70 initially survived but 9 died due to injuries later so 61 survived in the end.
The Tenerife disaster was the worst aviation accident in history.

Tenerifian 

Some one born in Tenerife, of spanish nationality but usually accused of being African due to being closer to africa then spain.

Tenerifian's call themselves Chicharreros, and within spain they are called Tinerfenhos.

They are people with a great sence of humour, even thought they are short they have been greatly designed, and they are better looking and overall better than the rest of spain and quite possibly the world, they are incredibly better than people from Gran Canaria too (canariones) as they are a bunch of gay chulos.
''Olle Javier, arent you going to help your neighbor Miguel who has just fallen off his moto, and his leg is pointing the wrong way... and some dog its trying to run off with its bone?''

''No, sod him, he is Canarion!''

PS - daddy yankey is not Tenerifian

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.
