body dysmorphic disorder

A psychiatric condition in which the affected person suffers from a flawed perception that views some part of the body or physical feature to be defective or unsightly although an objective observer would not share said opinion. While some people assume that female breasts are disproportionately the feature in question, in fact persons with body dysmorphic disorder tend to report dissatisfaction with facial features most frequently.

Body dysmorphic disorder is categorized as one of the Somatoform Disorders by the American Psychiatric Association.

Madeline suffered from body dysmorphic disorder: she thought her cute Gallic nose was an unsightly and grotesquely large beak.

Body dysmorphic disorder

Mental disorder that makes you unable to look in a mirror without thinking how worthless and ugly you are. At one point you probably won't leave the house in order to avoid all the beautiful people and possible reflections of your imperfections

This has to be credited to Gimme, Gimme Gimme (BBC2 or 1), but proves be such a useful put down!!! Body Dismorphic Disorder (BDD) is, commonly, where a beautiful person looks in the mirror and sees a minger, swap donkey, bush pig staring back at them. Well, Reveral Body Dismorphic Disorder is where a hideously unattractive, usually overweight girl with particularly bad skin (it's my glands you see, nothing to do with the 18 Big Macs and 10 bars of family sized Galaxy I eat a day)looks into the mirror, and instead of seeing the bloated blob before her, sees a combined image of Catherine Zeta Jones and Angelina Jolie - therefore believing herself to be the epitome of beauty!!! Hence - Reversal Body Dismorphic Disorder

"Doctor, is it serious? I'm going to be on the front cover of Nuts, and can't keep the photographer waiting!!!"

"Well, you're five stone over weight and got skin like a pizza. I diagnose a severe case of Reversal Body Dismorphic Disorder. Fetch Gillian McKeith, nurse!"

Fleg

The word 'flag' as pronounced by people with thick Belfast accents. The term is a perfect encapsulation of the disproportionate and overblown reaction to the removal of the Union Jack (as in 'de fleg') from above City Hall in Belfast. Where previously it had flown for 365 days per year, it is now flown on 17 designated days of the year - in line with many other British cities.

The event caused a portion of the Protestant community ('fleggers') to make international pricks of themselves as they proceeded to wreck the fucking place, claiming it was another erosion of a 'British' identity they perceive to have been under attack since the horrifying spectre of equality reared its head in Northern Ireland.

The word 'fleg' - and indeed 'fleggers' - fittingly describes a section of humanity unconcerned with knowledge, reality or the vagaries of the English language. Like America's tea-baggers they are ruled by instinct, fear and paranoia with a side dish of rampant bigotry and startling ignorance of the world around them.

"Wat de fuck like! The taigs got de fleg took down! Let's wreck de fuckin place! No surrender!"

"De fleg has been took down! Before ye know it there'll be a united Ireland! Attack Short Strand! God Save The Queen!"

Skeef

To take something small, that doesn't quite qualify as a theft. Probably from the Danish "skæv" or the Dutch "scheef", both of which are pronounced similarly, meaning "askew, or not quite right'. To change an item's ownership without permission, but only something small and of little worth.

"I skeefed an apple off the neighbor's tree." "I skeefed some chips outta your bag when you looked away." "Don't skeef my chair when I go to the bathroom."

Hair spider

A tight, tangled knot of loose hair and lint that forms inside clothing during the clothes dryer cycle. It typically hides inside garments, causing an annoying lump or a phantom tickling sensation against the skin until it is found or falls out onto the floor during folding.
