take on me

Simple. Aha is a Norwegian band. "Take on me" in Norwegian is, "Ta på meg". "Ta på meg" in Norwegian means, hold onto me or touch me. They caused a stir and left many people to wonder about the meaning when they chose to translate literally, word for word, instead of figuratively. This was certainly intentional as Norwegians are fairly proficient in English.

Jeg vil at du skal ta på meg. Literally, I want you to embrace me (take on me/ta på meg).

take on me

The phrase "take on me" is nonsense verse that was written to sound cool. It's really just a grammatically incorrect version of "take me on". A-Ha repeating themselves in order to have catchier lyrics.

I have nothing clever for the chorus, so...."Take on me!"

Take a dump on me

A request you ask of a friend or stranger when you are having such a bad day that the only thing that could make it worse is someone actually emptying their bowels onto you.

Wesley: Dude its too bad that you forgot to wear clothes on school picture day, now your ding-dong's gonna be in the yearbook.
Ben: Take a dump on me!
Wesley: Okay!

take a chance on me

This takes a day of prep- no eating the day before followed by a night of heavy drinking, follow up with a large greasy breakfast. Two hours after the said greasy breakfast you either decide to have sex with a random person or take a crap...you choose sex with ABBA's 'Take a chance on me', playing in the background.

I had choices so I decided to take a chance on me and lost.

Take a gay dump on me

Similar to "Take a dump on me". Although instead of having someone's bowels emptied upon you, a homosexual (gay) person is referenced therefore adding the effect of the situation being even worse than when a normal dump has been taken on you.

Larson: Man my girlfriend and I had a huge fight last night and broke up.
Ben: Really? My girlfriend and I 69'd and then 96'd all night long.
Larson: Take a gay dump on me!
Benjamin: When and where?

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.
