A type of self-government where a society is mysteriously incapable of producing intelligent leaders. A form of dysfunctionalocracy.
After several presidential and congressional election cycles, the government remained divided along party lines. Rather than leading the nation into prosperous times, they descended into a state of stupocracy.
Any business organization run exclusively by people who not only live in fear of making a meaningful decision, but seem to be favorably compensated on the basis of their unwillingness or inability to make a decision. Typically, the degree to which this situation adversely affects customers and suppliers is demonstrably linked to a complete lack of understanding of the organization's business model and/or customers.
"Not only is this product launch likely to result in a complete failure and loss of a great deal of money, but the stupocracy responsible for it will somehow spin it to make it seem like a success."
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.
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.
