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.

A renifleur is someone, can be male or female, with a medical condition that gives them sexual pleasure from smells. It doesn’t result in them being slightly turned on, but clothes off, into bed, or even the nearest patch of grass, and get it on. The condition can be triggered by a particular smell, usually quite specific and forming part of a fragrance, but in very rare cases it can be triggered by ordinary, everyday, common smells which means that the person must be kept in a sterile, odour-free environment. Surprisingly, many people exhibit a toned down version of this trait which is why males and females can be more sexually receptive when a certain perfume or aftershave is used.
Have you smelled the stench coming off Malcolm? He's enough to make the most ardent renifleur get a gas mask!

This is US Army slang commonly used during the Vietnam War. It was also used during the Korean War and may even date back to World War II. It means a soldier who is a combat virgin whose behaviour in combat is, therefore, unpredictable. When soldiers like this arrived in a unit, as a replacement for someone killed or wounded, they were often viewed with suspicion and were referred to as FNGs, until they had proved themselves.

An expression of annoyance or disgust from the South West of England, and can be applied to just about anything from physical objects and people to ideas and opinions. It originated quite literally from something getting into the nasal passages and causing pain, irritation and aggravation. From there its use expanded to cover just about anything that causes annoyance, exasperation or discomfort. It is now used widely throughout the UK.

Most people think of mistletoe as being romantic, but it isn’t, not really. The name derives from mistletan, which means a twig of mistle; the seeds of the plant are propagated through the excrement of birds, notably the mistle thrush. If you now take account that the old Germanic word ‘mist’ means shit or dung, mistletoe’s name translates as ‘shit plant’.

A person, usually female, with an arse so enormous it takes up two seats on a bus or other public transport. The sight of this apparition Is so remarkable that owner ceases to be a person and become just a mobile arse. The next stage usually results in the disbelieving mind asking a number of questions such as “Is it an elephant in disguise?” “How did it get into those jeans?” “Does it have its own Facebook page?” “Are the seats going to collapse?” This is usually followed by wondering “If it escaped would it attack people and ravage the countryside?” This in turn is followed by the heartfelt prayer, “Please don’t let it fart!”
I was on the bus yesterday and this enormous arse got on, talk about a two-seater, if there’d been a third seat it would have had that as well.
