Bethnal Green 

An area in the East End of London, located in the borough of Tower Hamlets, with the post code E2.

A lively area with many sub-continental shops such as Bangladeshi fruit and Veg shops, Saree and Indian Gold Shops, along with the traditional British Market Stalls.

The area is predominantly full of Bangladeshi people, making up 45% of the local areas population, whilst white poeple have a 38% population.

What was once a hub for the National Front, who used to terrorise the local Bangladeshi's (even killing one: Altab Ali), has now become an ugly battlefield for young Asian Youths.

Gangs such as Turin Street Massive, White Flatz, Shoreditch Massive, Green Bangerz and Fellows Court all roam the streets in this relatively small geographical area.

In the last couple of years, crime has been on the increase such as racial assualts, mugging people, teenage stabbings, turf war, priests getting attacked and even 2 murders!

In Tower Hamlets, Bethnal Green accounts for most of the boroughs crime. It has now eclipsed the former notorious gang "Brick Lane Massive".

Altogether, when these gangs combine they are known as "€2 Cartel......we got it on lock". These gangs have been very deadly, having brutal gang warefare in North London, especially Hollaway Road and in South London with the Peel Dem Crew (PDC)

Usually called Crazy and Free spirited. Bethanas are ridiculously good looking! When a Bethana walks into a room, every one notices. People are drawn to Bethana's carefree spirit and tend to envy Bethana. Bethana is an amazing kisser and the best lover a partner can pssibly have. Bethanas are passionate and "deep". Bethanas look for the deeper meanings in life. They are loyal friends but vengeful enemies. Once you meet a Bethana ~ you become instantly addicted to them and have to be around them as much as possible. Drugs and alcohol tend to intensify Bethana's crazy ways! Do not give them vodka and red bull unless you are prepared for a wild ride!! Because Bethana's are so desirable and hard to please ~ they tend to be heart beakers. Their nickname is usually Bethanimal ~ Yes a Bethana is that wild. Beware!
I can't take my eyes off of that Bethana!

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."
