Hell Hath No Fury

An abbreviated yet famous line coined by William Congreve (1670-1729),an English playwright and poet. The entire quote reads "Heaven has no rage like love to hatred turned, Nor hell a fury like a woman scorned," spoken by Perez in Act 3, Scene 2, The Mourning Bride (1697).

Contemporary usage of the phrase "Hell Hath No Fury" refers to the pinnacle of anger that has been attained by a jilted broad.

Nothing is more ferocious than a woman whose been rejected in love, as evidenced by the hammer thrown through my windshield late last night. Hell hath no fury.

HELL HATH NO FURY LIKE AN UNSUSPECTING MULE ABOUT TO BE SADDLED WITH TWO 10-FOOT KAYAKS

The pinnacle of anger that has been attained by a jilted broad. Trust me, this is the most pissed off state of mind that a woman can get into...perhaps borderline homicidal...if not homicidal...so take heed, dawgs!

After being caught by his wife with his pants down with the neighbor in the back seat of his Chevette, Ray was subsequently "bobbited" and then castrated by his ball-and-chain during her storm of fury. Hell hath no fury like an unsuspecting mule about to be saddled with two, 10-foot kayaks.

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.

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.
