snaptexting 

(verb) a term derived from the popular social media app, Snapchat. Snapchat is typically used to send an ugly selfie or a video, add a caption, and send it to a friend (or maybe a few). They receive it, and once it is opened and viewed the snap disappears.

Snaptexting occurs when two people engage in a conversation on Snapchat using the small amount of text caption you are allowed to add to each snap as a means of communicating.

Snaptexting is not only impractical because of the limited character count, but it is also frustrating because if you do not read the caption in time you can never retrieve the message again.
Morgan: *sends Ray a snap of pancakes* "Look at the pancakes I made!"

Ray: *sends Morgan a snap of a sad face* "I'm hungry, I want pancakes!"

Morgan: *sends Ray a snap of a happy face* "Come over, let's cook sometime!"

Ray: *sends Morgan another snap of a sad face* "I can't, I have finals."

Morgan: Goddamit Ray, stop snaptexting me and just send me an actual fucking text message.

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."
