Pulling a Chelsea

1. When you knock something over, break something, and/or hurt yourself out of pure clumsiness.
2. When you obsess over the grammar of a piece of writing so much that you don't pay attention to the content itself.
3. When you mishear a word someone says, thinking they said something dirty.

1. "Shit, I spilled my drink and now my computer's soaked. I totally just pulled a Chelsea."
2. "Sorry, I'll read your email in a minute - I'm pulling a Chelsea right now. I just need to print it out and highlight all of the grammatical errors first."
3. "Did that news anchor say 'penis' or am I just pulling a Chelsea?"

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.
