professional armchair pilot

A professional armchair pilot is a person who is obsessed with aviation and aircraft, but has no actual pilot training or experience. They may spend hours studying flight manuals, watching aviation videos, and discussing the finer points of aircraft performance, yet they have never even set foot in the cockpit of an actual plane. Despite their lack of practical knowledge, these individuals may still consider themselves experts on all things aviation and may even offer their unsolicited opinions on piloting techniques and aircraft design.

"I asked John for his advice on flying my small aircraft, but it turns out he's just a professional armchair pilot who's never even been in a cockpit. I think I'll go with the advice of the actual pilot I know."

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.
