httpster

Derived from 'hipster' - a httpster is a certain strain of hipster who is one with the internet.

Hypertext Transport Protocol runs in their veins - mostly of the html5 variety, kept on constant supply via a smartphone.

It is essential that a httpster has a personal blog, a twitter feed to post snarky comments about web design and to have at least one vanity URL with their absolute preferred username.

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.
