Emotional Hardcore

Emo in it's purest and original form. True emo. It used to be a musical genre in the '80s until the world killed it in the 2000s by turning it into an insult and a label. Started by what is the first emo band to produce an album, Rites Of Spring, it was a combination of punk rock mixed with raw emotion, often related to love. Rites Of Spring was introduced and categorized as the very first band to play the Emotional Hardcore genre. Later, a shorter term was coined in place of Emotional Hardcore. This new word was Emocore. Then, after Emocore got around, people shortened it even more to Emo. Modern day people now use this word with completely different meaning. When they think of emo, they think of a kid with eyeliner crying in the corner, slitting his wrists while listening to Dashboard Confessional. They don't know the true meaning of emo, and it is indeed a very sad thing.

Rites of Spring is a truely talented emotional hardcore band. The real definition of emo, unlike many mainstream "emo" bands such as Dashboard Confessional, Get Up kids and Hawthorne Heights.

Then, after Emocore got around, people shortened it even more to Emo. Modern day people now use this word with completely different meaning. When they think of emo, they think of a lonely kid wearing girl pants and eyliner cutting himself. They don't know the true meaning of emo, and it is indeed a very sad thing. The world would be a completely different place if people knew what emo really meant, and what a wonder it used to be, and how much they have corrupted it.

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.
