Dumb Ways to Die 

Originally started as an australian music video that shows cartoon characters dying in a humorous and ridiculous way and was used as a message to be safe around trains. Later on a game app was released where the player has to save the characters from losing their lives in a collection of mini games based on the video, games include swatting wasps and properly putting mustard on a hot dog.
P1: Did you play Dumb Ways to Die?

P1: I will totally stay safe around trains now that I have seen the music video and played the game.

Dumb Ways to Die 

A song and video game that was meant to teach people about train safety, but ended up becoming a trend. In the video, it shows multiple beans dying a different way.
Numpty sets his hair on fire
Hapless poked a stick at a grizzly bear
Pillock took expired medicine
Dippy used his private parts as piranha bait
Dummkopf took his toast out with a fork and then burned to death
Dimwit did his own electrical work
Stupe taught himself how to fly
Lax ate a two-week-old unrefrigerated pie and got sick
Clod the psycho killer was invited inside
Doomed scratched a drug dealer's brand new ride
Numskull took off her helmet in outer space
Bungle used a clothes dryer as a hiding place
Mishap kept a rattlesnake as a pet
Dunce sold both of his kidneys on the internet
Calamity ate a tube of superglue
Ninny pressed a red button
Botch dressed up as a moose during hunting season
Doofus disturbed a nest of wasps for no good reason
Stumble stood at the edge of a train station platform
Bonehead drove around the boom gates at a level crossing
And finally, Putz ran across the tracks between the platforms.
Me: I created a whole new version of Dumb Ways to Die by Tangerine Kitty!
My friends: Cool! We would love to see it!
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.
I was folding my clothes and a huge hair spider fell out onto my hand
