nekketsu
Nekketsu refers to a canvas and a genre used in manga (especially shōnen) and shōsetsu (novels). It is directly inspired by the concept of monomyth as described by Joseph Campbell. Osamu Tezuka is credited with having created the genre, through his manga New Treasure Island.
Some characteristics of nekketsus are recurrent:
- The hero is an orphan boy (or living apart from his parents); the father's search is a recurring theme;
- The hero often has a quest he absolutely wants to achieve and this, whatever the obstacles;
- Fundamentally honest and innocent, he is often naive;
- He is endowed with extraordinary abilities or powers, sometimes magical, whose extent is gradually revealed;
- In the company of friends he met during his quest, he fought against evil;
- His first adversaries generally become his most faithful companions;
- They participate in a tournament or something similar;
- When he is about to lose or die, the hero stands up stronger than ever, thanks in particular to his will, his "burning desire to win"
- There is usually an ellipse at some point in the adventure (most often between an initial traumatic event and the true beginning of the story).
- Honesty (justice), group spirit (friendship) and dedication to the general interest (will to win) are the main values conveyed by these mangas.

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.

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."

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.
