Quiet Kid in the Corner 

You know the kid. They often wear darker clothes, though it isn't necessary. Normally, this kid will talk to an elite few classmates who don't bug them, make fun of them, or bring them into irrelevant conversations. When you get to know that quiet kid, you can discover they are an individual person with lots of funny thoughts inside. They simply choose to keep them there. When they choose to let their thoughts out, the students laugh, but they're usually good kids, so the teacher's let it slide. Some speak more "properly" than others, depending on their sense of humor.
Mrs. Daniels: Justine, describe phagocytosis for the class.
*class considers whether there is actually a Justine in the school*
Justine: It's like when the space ship comes for the slime monster during its attempt at world domination, but the slime monster makes itself grow a little and eats it.
*class laughs*

Mrs. Powers: And they all lived happily ever after... maybe... or maybe they all died.
Justine: Of course they died... this book was written two hundred years ago.
...
Crystal: Did you hear what Justine said in English?
Amanda: That girl's name is Justine?.. It's always the quiet kid in the corner.

Quiet Kid in the Corner, QKC for short 

Someone who sits in the back and talks to no body; usually someone who says he hates human interaction, but is always making a scene.
Kid 1: Man, have who ever heard the quiet kid in the corner, QKC for short, talk?
Kid 2: Dude, he doesn't talk to anybody, he's got some kind of secret language.
QKC: No ablah espanhol senohr, keen ablah espanhol akey?
Kid 1: Wow, i can't understand a word he's saying
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."

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.

n. A screenshot fabricated by a company to misrepresent the graphics of a game; a combination of the words bullshit and screenshot.

Originated from Penny Arcade, a popular gaming webcomic.
-Have you seen Madden 2006 for the Xbox 360? The graphics are gonna be awesome!
-Dude, the Madden 2006 images they showed at E3 were bullshots. It doesn't look nearly as good as they said.
