Zen Toaster

A Zen Toaster is the stand in name for any quirky appliance that really ought to be recycled. It's Zen quality pretty much comes down to three things -- everything changes; everything is connected; pay attention. This karmic appliance is often seen in a starter home or in a college/roommate living situation; Perhaps it was purchased at a garage sale for cheap because one can't afford even the appliance at Walmart and such retail establishments. So while the Zen Toaster works with some kind of complex stipulation like it will not pop your toast out unless you hit the side of the toaster or it toasts doubly fast, it will work if you are present. However chances are you will be distracted by something like your phone and before you know it -the Zen Toaster burnt your toast just like a Pompeian papyrus scroll in 79 BCE. Now you have no toast, a smelly kitchen, perhaps even the smoke detector has gone off-and all because you didn't pay attention for a minute with what you know very well is your Zen Toaster!

Roomate: "Madeleine you are *f%$#4ing smelling up the kitchen again with your rye bread in the Zen Toaster!?!" Can you please get Meerkat while you attempting to cook!

flophouse

Any house/apartment/frat house/trailer/etc. which is used for individuals to crash (sleep, chill, hang out, lurk, etc.) for a period of time. In order to "crash", one must not actually live there (e.g. have their name on the lease, own said flophouse, etc.). Flophouses are typically used by college students, drug addicts, transients, vagrants, or other unsavory characters.

A flophouse may also be the home owned by the parents of a college student, who after being away at college, wishes to live as if he/she is still at college (e.g. staying out all night, returning just to crash at mom and dad's house, then leaving again), rather than conforming to the pre-college rules.

Example #1
Dude: (Talking to someone passed out face first on the floor of his college apartment) Hey man, who the hell are you? What do you think this is, a flophouse??

Bro: Sorry dude, I must have passed out for a minute.

Example #2
Mom: Where have you BEEN for the last three days? You come home just to sleep?? What do you think this is, a flophouse??!!

Son: What's your problem? I'm an adult now!

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.
