platonic crush

The feeling of giddiness and happiness towards someone you know without the romantic or sexual attraction accompanying a regular crush.

I love talking to and being around Max, even though a lot of what he says isn't true. I have a platonic crush on him.

Platonic Crush

The intense desire to follow someone on social media sites while resisting the temptation to add them as friends.

Someone told me she had been following my Facebook feeds over a year. I sent her a friend request, but she politely declined. She messaged me that was not the direction she wished to take. I think she has got a platonic crush on me.

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.
