Dave has been tutoring me in biology recently and he is starting to seem really hot. The tutor effect is making me want to do a practical lesson, if you know what I mean...

tutor effect

Also known as the "sibling spillover effect", this effect describes how an older sibling's academic success or even a specific educational intervention they received positively influences their younger sibling's achievement, often through shared learning, role modeling, and increased academic engagement at home, particularly benefiting younger siblings in reading skills.

Thanks to the "tutor effect", my little brother is acing his reading tests because he sees how hard I study and wants to follow in my footsteps.

The Tudor Ivan Effect

the Tudor Ivan effect is a nonconformist phenomenon with aphrodisiac intentions applied to a partner of the opposite sex with the intention of initiating or simmering the man towards a sweet game of cards.

Person 1: Idk man she has everything, like personality, good tastes and large balconies. But today she ghosted me and I am mad.
Person 2: Oh no you just gotten the Tudor Ivan Effect lmao.

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.

girl grip

The ability girls and women have developed to hold several items at once in one hand. The skill has been developed due to the lack of pockets in women's clothing.

I thought she'd need multiple trips to carry her phone, keys, wallet, and Starbucks to her car since she needed the other hand to open the door, but she used her impressive girl grip to carry everything in one hand.
