eigenmotion 

The state of one (living being) entering him/her/themselves into a self-sustaining stable trance where self inhibition is no longer an option. An eigenmotion is a (hypnotic) state in which a living being can be; it can only be entered and left through external stimuli.

Eigenmotions are a sub class of stereotypical behaviour with the nuance being that eigenmotions cannot be self inhibited.

Eigenmotions are easily identified by things that keep doing the same this over and over again with no obvious purpose or goal. Each eigenmotion is terminated by external triggers.

Examples include of types of eigenmotions;

- dog eigenmotion: dogs that keep following their own tail in circles (trigger: throw a ball)
- lap eigenmotion: people running laps on track and field (trigger: sumo wrestle them down)
- carrot stick eigenmotion: people on treadmills (trigger: press the emergency stop button)
- gym hype eigenmotion: people on spinning bikes (trigger: jam the wheel)
- asocial social eigenmotion: people scrolling endlessly on facebook's app (trigger: KO that phone, try off the WiFi)

Eigenmotion can be used as a noun or verb.

Joe: Look at all those people on their spinning bikes

Joe: Lets relieve them by jamming those bikes

girl grip 

The ability girls and women have developed to hold several items at once in one hand. The skill has been developed due to the lack of pockets in women's clothing.
I thought she'd need multiple trips to carry her phone, keys, wallet, and Starbucks to her car since she needed the other hand to open the door, but she used her impressive girl grip to carry everything in one hand.

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!"
