Unfortunamism

A black-ops disease prevalent among the less fortunate. Unfortunamism is caused by the effective use of discrimination, alienation and attrition. Modern capitalist societies use unfortunamism to keep large numbers of people (who would vote for more socialist policies) in a disenfranchised state, effectively removing their ability to act as a cohesive group.

Donald Trump would like to use unfortunamism on many illegal immigrants as it would help increase his profits without increased earnings. His companies could use the illegal immigrants as workers, not pay them, and when they complained they are deported.

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.
