overgoogling

Spending hours online obsessively combing Google links for information about someone you have just met in order to unearth everything about them, including resume, driver's license, arrest record, and photos of them doing shots at their college fraternity formal. Often leads to revelations that derail a budding relationship.

That guy I met last night texted me this morning to ask me how I got arrested for indecent exposure in college. I texted back that I had led a nudist anti-fur protest, but how did he know about it? He texted back admitting that he'd spent all night Googling me. I texted back that he was overgoogling.

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.
