Cyprused 

When you go to sleep at night, and wake up the next day and find your bank account frozen, your bank branch closed and the online bank site shut down. It is the joy of getting corzined on a more widespread scale. When and if your bank reopens, you will likely find most of your current account balance gone.

Don't worry though, the systemically important people (ie - not you) would have been tipped off and would have moved all of their funds out of the bank in advance.

Eurotrash finance ministers have used the mediterranean island of Cyprus as the template for robbing bank depositors to prop up the zombie western finance economies, in March of 2013. Coming soon to a nation that uses fractional reserve banking near you!
Did you hear about Steve? He had his retirement nest egg in a savings account, and was trying to scrape by on social security and interest. He thinks he's about to get Cyprused as his bank apparently went under, and the FDIC is flat broke!

Hope he likes dog food.

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."
