dissocialate 

(inspired by the term dissociation). Many people have experienced the situation in which you tell whoever your texting or chatting with that you’re “going to bed”, but in reality you’ll be on your phone scrolling through social media or watching Netflix. Though you are not replying to messages or snaps, you still partake in micro-communications such as liking and retweeting the posts of others. The reason one would do this would be to have to time to yourself before actually heading to bed. However, though one can infer this simply because they’ve done this themselves, it’d be more clear and beneficial to have an actual word for this. By telling others that you are going to go “dissocialate”, people will instantly know likely respect what you want to go do, completely ridding the potentiality of people assuming otherwise and calling you out for being on social media despite telling them you’d be doing something else.

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.
