disco lights

The flashing lights on emergency vehicles which, when turned on, signal other cars to get out of the way. This term is most commonly used to refer to such lights on police cars, although it could be used for the same type of lights on ambulances or fire department vehicles.

So I was driving home, not noticing how fast I was going, and suddenly I saw those disco lights in my rear view mirror!

disco lights

A product which is of incredibly low quality compared to its nearest competitors, yet maintains a similar price. The term originated from the tendency of such product to utilize colorful flashing lights (possibly in alternating or multiple colors) as a selling point.

Have you seen those cheap-ish third party controllers? Nothing but disco lights, they don't even have all the right buttons!

I got a new mouse, but it went bad after like a month. Stupid disco lights.

Sure this flash drive doesn't have the storage space or the lifespan as that other brand, but it lights up in blue, red, and green! I need some DISCO LIGHTS!

Man, fuck quality, I'm gonna buy some disco lights!

Scandinavian Light Disco and Pull-up Bar

A noun referring to that moment when after you take your cousin, disembowel her, and use her viscera as a sexual lubricant while sodomizing her your mother walks in and says "I don't even know who you are anymore" and you reply "You probably didn’t recognize me because of the red arm".

Seamus never felt an ounce of regret, even right after his first Scandinavian Light Disco and Pull-up Bar.

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.
