apolyonesia 

When one or more people experience memory loss when one or more spirits or deities have been 'at work' helping humanity in extraordinary ways. Esp prevalent to angels and such entities discussed in religious texts and scripts.
• Seeing angels do angel-type shit will cause "apolyonesia" with durations of several hours to several days.
• This effect typically resolves shortly after the triggering entity has departed from the respective spheres of influence. No lasting deficit appears to remain after the departure.
• This effect is the causal (Kawz-Ahl) factor in memory loss experienced by victims of catastrophic events where no logical or scientific explanation exists to account for certain positive outcomes and first person accounts from witnesses & survivors don't exist, I.E., A plane crashes and all onboard are killed except a handful of people, but none of them have memory of the final moments and how they weren't killed.
• Apolyonesia, as a word, was developed from the amnesia-like effect that the Archangel Abaddon/Apolyon observed during his time incarnated on Earth. Noticing that his angelic name had been omitted from all but the most exotic apocrypha & occult literature. Then combined with his observation of amnesia-like deficit noticed after he'd save lives but those saved wouldn't have memory of his heroics or even remember his presence afterward.

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.
