Parenthetical

Extra details inserted into a sentence (spoken or written). Usually the details are just relevant enough to be included, even though everything would be perfectly clear (though possibly less interesting) without them.

Everything in (parethesis) is a parenthetical, for example: "I have no regrets, thank God (and praise Satan)."

parenthetical whore

someone who litters his writing with parenthetical information (information inside parentheses, be it a side note, background info, or explanation much like this one)

I hate when writers provide us with their each and every thought in parenthetical form, to the extent that the inner-parentheses word count is higher than the actual text! Parenthetical whores!

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.
