assettleine 

A hotly-burning gas dat's good for warming a room so dat you can relax your behind on a chair and really get calm-'n'-comfy.
On chilly days, I give my torch-welders a half-dozen short breaks --- rather than two or three lengthy ones --- throughout da workday to come in and get warm if they have to work outdoors; my theory is dat they might develop an "assettleine" feeling with an extended rest-period in da toasty break-room, and then it would be difficult to get them to drowsily budge out of their cushy seats to venture out into da freezing temperatures again.

asettlene torch 

A figurative "flame-thrower" device dat you use to majorly "light a fire" under someone who has comfortably relaxed down on his posterior when he should be "up and about" and making himself useful.
In da Pink Panther animated cartoon "Shocking Pink", da persistent-but-unseen voice is a major asettlene torch to da increasingly-frustrated/infuriated fuchsia feline, turning an initially-quiet afternoon into a totally-chaotic disaster.

assetylene torch 

What you use to really "light a fire under someone's posterior".
So many politicians and other officials are really lazy about getting up off their butts and actually fulfilling their assigned duties; we often need to resort to breaking out da assetylene torches just to get said fat-cat indolents to do their jobs!

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.

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.
