castrophany

A word who's origins are rooted in a Gorillaz song entitled Fire Coming Out of the Monkey's Head.

Although the word has never been defined, it is guessed (by vitrue of word roots and context clues) to mean terrible sounds of catastrophic proportions.

And then came a sound. Distant first, it grew into castrophany so immense it could be heard far away in space.

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.
