Straight-through Jones

A rare and fortunate occurrence during busy hours found in car parks. The straight-through Jones is when two (vacant) parking positions line up end to end, allowing the lucky finder to drive straight through from one to other other negating the need to reverse in or out of said parking space.
Person 1: I will never find a parking spot at this rate!
Person 2: Oh look Dad, there's a straight-through Jones!

Straight through the bush 

Straight to the point

You DONT beat around the bush
Erin: “I told him he was ugly
Mél: “wow you really went straight through the bush

ripped my throat straight out 

The saying rip your throat out or I dont want someone to rip my throat out or they’re gonna rip your throat out refers to someone getting out on you. Someone charging too much for something.
I went to this new guy last week and he sold me some coke. He ripped my throat straight out like his prices were so high. It was unbelievable. I don’t even know why I went along with the deal..

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."
