Walter Mitty

A fictional character prone to daydreaming and fantasy. Currently in the news in the UK after a government official compared a UK intelligence worker David Kelly to Walter Mitty. Dr Kelly then killed himself, sparking the Hutton inquiry which will probably be a whitewash and Tony Blair will cling to power for a little while longer. Tosser.
He is a Walter Mitty-style fantasist!

Walter Mitty

When someone hands you a glass of wine with a big palm print on the glass vs handing the glass stem first like any civilized wine drinker might.
"Can you please pass my wine, and don't Walter Mitty the glass."

Walter Mitty was a pitiful character from a James Thurber story. The movie with Dany Kaye.

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.
