Clapping Ghost 

The haunting sounds of paranormal activity coming from dark places. Often after parties, and in bedrooms. Sounds of ghostly clapping, and moaning.
I heard a clapping ghost last night when I slept on the floor after the party at The Group Home, it was coming from the couch across the room. And also from @mcblacken and @xlfodx rooms.

Ghostcap 

(v.) Ghost Capturing, or ghostcapping, is the act of capturing or denying an objective which isn't currently occupied or patrolled by the enemy team, allowing a swift, strategic, and conflict-free advantage. Common tactic used in team-based shooters such as Battlefield and Planetside, seen as the larger-scale brethren to the (in)famous Ninja Defuse.
Planetside 2:

NC Player 1: Dude, let's squad up and ghostcap the smaller Vanu facilities, those MAX spamming bastards won't see it coming!

NC Player 2: We're gonna have to do it later tonight, we'll rob them blind while they sleep like infants!

Battlefield:

MEC Player: C4 the bridge! they're bring in APCs!

US Player: Dammit, they blew up the bridge! Squad, let's cross by river and ghostcap the empty bases!

Ghostcap 

A terminology used in video games that use timed objectives. It refers to the countdown-process of an objective which contributes towards the victory of one team without this team defending it.

Usually a player has to flip an objective (by standing nearby or activating it) which then triggers a countdown. If the player then decides to leave the objective the countdown of the objective is considered a ghostcap because no player is present to either flip the objective back or to defend it.

In Planetside specifically it is refereed to a base that is ticking down towards being captured without any players being present.
While looking at the map it seems a base is being captured by a ghost because the player can see it is completely empty.

It is considered as griefing because the defenders need to make the effort to visit the base to flip the point back.
Platoon Leader: Damn they are ghostcapping that base again.

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.
