Anaesthetic Technician 

Anaesthetic Technicians mainly work in the operating theatre with anaesthetists (specialist medical doctors), they are also called to other areas of the health care facility to assist in cardiac arrest situtations or with patients who could arrest if not treated appropriately. They assist the anaesthetist in managing your airway...if you don't breath, you die and when you are anaesthetised the drugs generally make you not breath, some people are easy to maintain an airway on & others aren't and patients will die if their airway is not patent. Anaesthetic Technicians combine clinical and technical knowledge & skills to help ensure things run smoothly when you are having your surgery!
If you have a car accident and suffer massive trauma and are taken to a hospital emergency department and the staff are finding it difficult to put an airway tube in your wind pipe they call the anaesthetic team that includes the anaesthetic doctor and anaesthetic technician. Who will then also transfer you to the operating theatre and try everything to keep you alive while the surgeon patches you up. The anaesthetic team will then transfer you once you are stable to intensive care, staff there will continue the good work the anaesthetic team started.

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.
