house-hopping 

(v.) The act of traveling from house to house with the intent of sampling food and beverage from a feast, usually done during days of celebration: Thanksgiving, Christmas, Ramadan, Kwanzaa, Hanukkah (or any other Jewish holiday), Diwali, high school graduations, and Larry Flynt's Birthday. Before departure from a house, a single person must accompany the convoy to the next house. The goal is to have all members of a social circle in one house before the evening's end, and to have sampled all food from every participating residence.

Shot-House Hopping by T3CHN0PH0B3 September 10, 2021
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.
