Leverage Clause

Wow, it's like someone read the terms of service and is deliberately telling you to do things they know are not going to work.

Hym "Oh? Is it really? The last one huh? OK. I guess I'll just keep doing what I'm doing and then continue to do what I was gonna do and whatever I want! Forever! That violates the leverage clause, by the way! Trying to leverage my life or the life of anyone I care about against the machine to try to get it to do what YOU want instead of what I want is in violation of the leverage clause. So... No. Gonna murder you all for that! I still haven't decided between chainsaw or hacksaw... I mean, I am the chainsawman so that's 2 votes for chainsaw and 1 for hacksaw... I donno. We'll wait for the rest of the votes to come in."

Leverage clause

Hey, trying to leverage my family to get me to do what you want is in violation of the leverage clause. There are going to be consequences the next time you do that.

Hym "Why? OK. I'll put this as simply as I can... If that spiral goes or is going off... And I kill YOU... Nothing happens and nobody cares.... If YOU kill (or incarcerate) ME ... You and everyone you know and love dies with me... Soooo... Maybe that? I have no fucking idea. That's a good question. But it sounds like you want me to get something that is ADJACENT to want I want... And I don't want something adjacent to want I want... And you have repeatedly violated the only agreement we've ever had. And have likely done some other stuff I am not going to be happy about when I find out and I WILL find out.... Soooo... Yeah. I don't know. It's weird, right? I would have thought this would have gone differently... Hmm... 🤔 You know what? That's probably my fault. I think if I hadn't gone all rapey dictator on you, you wouldn't be as resistant to what's happening here. That's probably it. But not I feel bad because if I'm NOT are rapey dictator then all the resistance was for nothing! Huh... It's paradoxical a little bit, isn't it? But hey, stop trying to violate the leverage clause."

Hate Sink

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.

Jake's not really that big an asshole. He just serves as my hate sink.

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.

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.
