Blimp Option

A northern english term used to describe a better decision. It stems back from when a Bradford City football (soccer) game sold out of seats. The commentator joked about how he would use a blimp to see the awesome match continue before his eyes if he did not have a seat. The other commentator laughed and the term soon became frequent in Bradford City chants and other every-day usage.

Cop 1: FUCK! hes getting away

Cop 2: oh dear lord, hes actually lost us!

Cop 1: if only we had been able to us that damned blimp option..

Cop 2: shit i know man.. i know..

Cop 1: next time ey?

Blimp Option

A literal example of blue-sky thinking. Choosing an option that is so ridiculous that no one else has thought of it.

Sniper Bob: How are we gonna shoot the hostage-taker when there isn't a tall enough building nearby?

Fleg

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!"

Skeef

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.
