Metrographical 

(adj) A person obsessed with the ability to create stunning, bedazzled graphics and charts. These individuals have a strong compulsion to pretty-up their co-workers reports and documents. These people are often confused for being gay, but are not.
Joe, those stunning visuals in the presentation made me think you were gay, but maybe you're just metrographical.

metaglyph 

1.) A life lesson reduced to a symbol. 2.) A complete collection of such symbols. Throughout life we learn lessons. When we reflect on any one lesson we can create a mental picture of it and reduce it to a symbol.

The theory behind The Metaglyph is to reduce one's life lessons to an ordered collection of symbols for the purpose of clarity.
The lesson: Man who squeeze lemon get sour juice. The lesson here is not to be surprised when things get overly ugly when we press an issue with a nasty person.

The metaglyph might be as simple as a large circle denoting the lemon above a small circle denoting a lemon drop.

petroglyph 

Petroglyph is the only videogame company that totally pwns EA(Electronic Arts). Evil EA bought Westwood in 1998 and started putting their brand on Westwood games, thus removing every single tiny bit of quality from them. Since the Westwood developpers actually care more about the gamer than the money, the majority of them left EA and started this new VG company. They've had a good start with Star Wars: Empire at War and it's only the beginning.
- Dude, EA is so going to conquer the world!
- Not at all, Westwood guys just left them to form PETROGLYPH!
- O RLY? Then there's still hope in life! I'll stop cutting my wrists and covering 3/5 of my face with my hairs! (see emo)

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."

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
