Alien Domestication

The process by which humans selectively breed, genetically modify, or behaviorally train extraterrestrial organisms for utility, companionship, or agricultural purposes. It's the extension of the ancient human-animal partnership to the stars. This could involve tailoring a fast-breeding, methane-processing Martian "moss" to produce breathable air, or taming a hexapedal, docile grazer to serve as a beast of burden on a low-gravity world. It's making the alien useful and familiar, blurring the line between foreign life and a resource.
Example: In the Frontiers Saga, settlers on a new planet selectively breeding the native "Grunts" for their nutritious milk and sturdy hides is Alien Domestication. On a microbial level, it could involve culturing extremophile bacteria from Europa to use as living filters in a water reclamation plant.

Guy 1: Dude, there are so many Asians in our Finance class.

Guy 2: It's OK, they're mostly domesticasians, so they won't destroy the curve too much.

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."
