The Rising Sun

The name of Imperial Japan's flag, you might be asking yourself "this simple of a definition? wow you're a dumbass" And to that my friend no no I'll be explaining why there was an outrage of the Rising Sun in the Tokyo Olympics it's due to the fact that The Rising Sun is seen as an Asian Nazi sign as Hitler never invaded Asia (apart from the Soviet Union but it's in both Europe and Asia so I'll count it but not as much as other Asian countries such as China or India) but Japan did committing terrible atrocities against innocent people (I'll admit that other countries also did this but to a lesser extent) See Raping of Nanking or Japanese War Crimes both found on Wikipedia for more.

Person 1: Man, The Rising Sun is a better flag then the new Japanese flag I wish they would just bring it back
Person 2: The fuck? It's Asian Nazi symbol you fucking Nazi.

House of the Rising Sun

One of the greatest rock songs of all time. The best known version of the song was done by the Animals in 1965. "Rising Sun" is an old british term for whore house. Whether or not that is the songs intended meaning is unknown.

Remember that scene in Casino where all the guys are getting killed and they play House of the Rising Sun. That was awesome.

House of The Rising Sun

House of the Rising Sun is a song written by The Animals in 1964. It is considered a rock classic, and currently holds the record for Most Auditioned Song for American Idol. The Animals later revealed that the song itself is about a prison, referencing a "ball and chain" in the lyrics as well as the title "House of the Rising Sun" which is a reference to the fact that prisoners wake at sunrise.

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.
