Lesufism
False assumption that rushing to a fresh scene of an incident marshalled by the media instils public confidence that politicians are doing their jobs.
“The stupid phenomenon “Lesufism” was pioneered by the MEC for education” .
"Over the years, South African Police Minister has mastered lesufism".
“At a media press conference, MEC for education was called out by a journalist for using lesufism strategy to allure voters for the upcoming local elections” .
“He is still new in the game; he will never eclipse warra who formulated lesufism strategy”.

Lesufism
Lesufism (noun)
When a politician or public figure makes sure they’re seen doing something — usually with cameras rolling — even if nothing changes afterwards.
Example:
> “The minister came, took photos, and left before anything was fixed. Classic Lesufism.”
Origin:
From Panyaza Lesufi, a South African politician known for being visibly present at every event. Used humorously to describe performative leadership — doing things for show, not results.
See also: Showboating, PR stunts, Mbalula moments, Bheki Cele vibes.

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.

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.
