Reverse Physicology 

The act of appearing to work really hard in a physical nature in order to receive the desired outcome of one or more people individually or in a team format. If others around you perceive that you are working incredibly hard, they will feel that they also need to work harder to accomplish a task. The thing is, the person practicing Reverse Physicology is actually faking their effort and is not working at all.
Jim used Reverse Physicology by appearing to strain intensely to pull the dock out of the water, which made the other five people on his team work harder to match his "fake" intense effort, thereby accomplish removing the dock from the water in record time.

Double Reverse Physicology 

It's the exact opposite of "reverse physicology" because it's when you are tricking someone into thinking that you are tricking them into reverse physicology, but you aren't. So it confuses the living crap out of them.
Stacy: "So what did you get me for my birthday?"

Fred: "I bought you a new piece o' shit honda babe!"

Stacy: "Haha, Oh Fred, you are too funny!"

Fred: "Haha, I know right!"

(Stacy sees the crappy car)

Stacy: "Fred what the hell!?! I thought you were kidding!"

Fred:"Now that's what I call a dose of double reverse physicology!"

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.

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.
