adobe flash gambit

When an inadvertent right mouse click causes the menu to pop up on an Adobe Flash window, causing the user to lose control of whatever application they were using, as popularized by online chess personality Jerry (ChessNetwork).

Jerry thought he'd finally taken down the wolfman, but then he got hit with an Adobe Flash Gambit and he was done for.

Adobe Flash Gambit

A seemingly unbounded temporal freeze in the time continuum during a game played using Adobe Flash resulting in discomfort, irritability, and side line research of competitors of the player experiencing this time conundrum. If one waits long enough, the temporal freeze will dislodge itself resulting in the exile of one player and a cornucopia of confetti for the play that had the fortitude and steely resolve to withstand the frustration of not being able to participate in the chess version of the Hunger Games.

1. Alright, double those points! He's not moving? Adobe Flash Gambit land? Oh man, Caparot1 is in the lead. Lets do some research.

2. Alright! The Adobe Flash Gambit! Gimme those points! Back to tournament!

Hate Sink

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.

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.

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.
