broken soul

An emotionally/mentally unstable (or less stable than normal) person due to life challenges, recent taxing events, or the actions/behaviours of another person. This person may feel at the point of just crawling into a corner, breaking down, and crying due to sentiments of inadequacy, feebleness, and utter worthlessness. In extreme cases, thoughts of suicide or other forms of violence might arise for the purpose to, simply put, "just end it."

And such a person is oft secluded, excessively sensitive, and/or too humble because the person might feel unworthy of any aid or love from anyone, including those who want to help and/or love. And while a soul cannot literally be broken, the person's ego may be conflicted to the point where a person no longer feels like the same person. The person may be going through the motions daily and may even have trouble enjoying favourite pastimes.

A person who self-describes as a "broken soul," or a shattered soul, can get better, but time away from what is causing the person anguish or psychiatric/psychological help is usually needed.

With the passing of both of their parents, Jack and Jill no longer found the will to go up the hill like always. Neighbours, at this point, thought they were broken souls, but any and all attempts to comfort them and take their minds off of their loss were rejected.

She was a bleeding soul who loved his broken heart

You had been broken so many times. You still loved him knowing you were both broken. You had a broken soul, he had a broken heart, but you stuck together... until he left.

“She was a bleeding soul who loved his broken heart, even when he left and made her bleed even more.”

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.
