Perm Ban 

Perm is a short hand for permanent, thus, a "Perm Ban", as opposed to its counterpart "Temp Ban" (Temporary), is a fixed banishment of a substance, action or a person from a certain area.

In the cyberworld, and particulary in games, it is common to place such a life-time exile on individuals who break the place's rules.
In the game SubSpace, which predates the game Infantry (as its correct name was prior to being renamed Infantry Online by its current owner SOE), was made by the same creators and was one of the first online only massively multiplayer games on the Internet as well, the distinction came to be whereas casual interruptive players would be placed on a short-period banished for a certain duration whilest the heavy offenders (cheaters and the such) would've been foreever blocked from returning to the game never to show their face again (although, security measures are always somewhat bypassable by various means).

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.
