lay off beard

Not quite the same as the playoff beard. The lay off beard is when you stop shaving every day because you got laid off, and there's really no point anymore, is there?

Guy 1: "Dude, did you forget to shave... for like a week?"

Guy 2: "Oh, it's my lay off beard. Go fuck your sister."

layoff beard

"Layoff beard" derives from "playoff beard." A layoff beard is a worn by an unemployed person until he gets a job.

The word's meaning can also be extended to include a law student who decides not to shave until he passes the bar exam.

Your layoff beard is quite fierce, broseph. And I applaud the pajamas-in-public look, too. It's quite...unique.

A person you hate intensely not because they deserve such hatred but because they serve as a focus for your general hatred. A healthy way to dispense with excess animosity.

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.
