ACS Law

A known 'scam' lawfirm that operate on the basis that innocent people are too scared by (barely)legal letters to fight them.

ACS Law just sent a threatening letter to my elderly grandmother claiming she'd shared pornography online. She's in tears despite knowing she's never owned her own internet connection.

Sorry Mr. Smith but my daughter hasn't done her homework this week because she received a letter from ACS Law threatening to ruin her life.

Gavin, how are those idiots at ACS Law still practicing? Surely they're banned from the UK by now?

ACS Law

A synonym for Karma.

ACS Law is (soon to be 'was') a law firm specialising in indiscriminately sending threatening emails to people they believe to be illegal file sharers. Although their most noted case prior to 2009 was the defence of a British national accused of public indecency in Dubai, they are better known for noobing up their security and having their internal emails leaked.

Your partner slept around after finding out you'd been unfaithful? That's ACS Law, baby.

ACS Law

A crude way of calling someone a 'wanker', used heavily between employees at actual UK law firms due to the derogatory nature of being known as a scumbag lawyer like the infamous Andrew Crossley.

RealLawyer: You sound like you're practicing for ACS Law, you utter simpleton.

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.

"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!"

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.

I was folding my clothes and a huge hair spider fell out onto my hand

n. A screenshot fabricated by a company to misrepresent the graphics of a game; a combination of the words bullshit and screenshot.
