BPU is a term commonly used in the "tuner culture." This term stands for Basic Performance Upgrades.

Another use of the term BPU sometimes occurs when describing a vehicle - such as saying, "He's got a BPU Supra." When used in this fashion, the BPU is being an adjective and describes the car as having its (the car's) performance upgraded with basic parts.
BPU's mainly include exhaust systems, headers, downpipes, smaller-sized turbos, etc. (Upgrades that are not considered basic include twin-turbo systems that are not stock, boring out the engine, engine-swaps, nitrous, etc.)

Vehicles that are commonly referred to as being "BPU" are Civics (well..most Hondas), Supras, Evos, STIs, etc. This is one term in the "tuning culture" that is not limited to Japanese automobiles.

Beta Rho Greater Omentum. A high class and secret medical society, originated in Upstate New York. Members, also known as "bros", swear their allegiance to the greater omentum. Members have shaved chests, consume tacbros every Tuesday, and gather most weekends at the "frat" for party activities. Pledges must perform a self lobectomy, removing 3.14159265 (pi) ounces of their greater omentum as a sacrifice and sign of loyalty to BPU. Startups of other chapters around the USA are pending.

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."
