MacGuffinite
A variant of Alfred Hitchcock's term "MacGuffin"; popularized by the 2025 DreamWorks Animation sequel "The Bad Guys 2" (the sequel to the 2022 furry favorite heist comedy film "The Bad Guys"; both loosely based on Aaron Blabey's book series), its earliest recorded use dates back to 2021 on this site in an entry by the one-entry wonder user "Tonk of the standard issue". In the context of the former's plot, it is depicted when Professor Marmalade (voiced by Richard Ayoade) tells Diane "Crimson Paw" Foxington (voiced by Zazie Beetz) during her visit the prison he is staying at, that Kitty Kat (a member of the rival "Bad Girls" voiced by Danielle Brooks) plans to use the International Space Station to steal all of the world's gold with such, shown as a rare metal which can magnetize gold with great force. In the case of the latter, it overall is a fictional material used to patch up logic in a story as noted by TOTSI.

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.

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.
