n. A half-desk, half cubicle workspace designed to foster a collaborative environment and remove privacy via atypically lower walls. Commonly appear in groups.
The newer variation of a cubicle that uses one desk connected so that you and a co-worker share. It is supposed to improve communication, but is really just a more annoying cubicle because your coworker sits too close to you and you have no privacy but you still work in a cubicle. Meltdowns are likely when deskticle is shared with an annoying person or especially a loud talker.
I just got done organizing my deskticle but it was a waste of time because all of Dan's shit just migrates over to my side after a day.
An office compartment that's more than a desk, but less than a cubicle. It's the modern working environment's attempt to give you privacy while saving money and space by only giving you half walls around your desk.
Sometimes I like to hang a sheet from one end of my desicle to the other so that I can pretend I have a realoffice.
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!"
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."
