Dollarydoo 

The legal term for the currency used in Australia.

A brief history: After all of the British criminals were banished to Australia the inhabitants subsisted on a barter system with themselves and the indigenous kangaroo population.

Unfortunately, the bartering system had its limitations so an alternative form of trading needed to be used.

There were many types currency used prior to the adoption of dollarydoos such as boomerangs, kangaroo eggs, and koala hats with the latter being the most popular and accepted.

Due to labor disputes with the koala unions, the koalas were not producing enough hats and a supply shock took place. Many Strayans walked about hatless.

The founding fathers a huge threat about to take hold of the economy from all sides of Straya from Keenslan to Pyurthee.

Sam the man and horny Henry stepped in and started passing around slips of paper with the $ written on them saying they should be treated as replacements for hats.

Blokes that refused to accept the currency would find Sam at their home in bed w their wife until they came around.

In no time, the economy roared back to life. The name dollarydoo was adopted because as a way to fight against forgery, Sam would stick his thumb down under, then wipe a brown smudge on every print such that people all over could verify the authenticity of the bill, and anyone who tried to create a fake would be immediately sniffed out.

Thus, concludes the history of the AUD (AUstralian Dollarydoo).

"yous better be paying me back in dollarydoos or else yer face'll be pashin'my fist yous will."

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!"
