killer clown

A person dressed as a clown with murderous or harmful intent. Possible origins include serial killer John Wayne Gacy, who became known as the "killer clown" when he created a series of oil paintings on death row on the subject of clowns; or an incident in Boston in 1981 in which dozens of reports surfaced of children being abducted by people dressed like clowns.

Note: the 1981 Boston incident of clowns abducting children spread to Kansas City, Missouri, Tech N9ne's oft-referenced hometown.

Killer Clown

A clown associated to the horror genre. Fictional clowns that are created to scare and entertain. These clowns are not actually killers , they portray a horror character.

Can’t wait to see the killer clowns at the haunted house. They are my favorite characters.

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."
