The Vibe Check

A process in which someone is checked for their ‘vibe’.
‘The vibe check’ looks to find out how someone presents themselves and treats others.

A best friend may perform ‘The vibe check’ on a prospective boyfriend of her BFF to see if she thinks he’s suitable.

“I need to introduce you to a guy, I need to know if he passes the vibe check”

The military vibe check

Essentially the same thing as a vibe check, where one actor commits violence against another, but in this case the actor is the U.S. military. The U.S. military vibe checks their recruits by shooting them in the head in order to only allow the strongest and most resilient to join.

Jim: What happened to Tommy?
Joe: He failed the military vibe check.
Jim: Wow, I always knew he was one of the weaker ones.

The Kiki vibe check

When someone passes the Kiki vibe check it means they are weird, but safe. They're quite odd, but in a good way. They're really fun while your mental health is safe from toxic behaviour when you get close to them. Most of people that pass the Kiki vibe check are either lgbtq+, neurodivergent, mentally ill, anime/cartoon enthusiast, a memer or all of the above. Thought falling into one of those categories isnt' a requirement.

Person1:Dude, do you like to hang out with Sophie?

Person2:I mean she's fun, but she didn't pass the Kiki vibe check...

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.
