SELF-DEFECATING HUMOR 

Not to be confused with self-deprecating humor, self-defecating humor is NOT funny. A joke that bombs like a dump of crap.
Example: A joke about your own foibles that stinks!

Sorry,Man, I hate to admit it, but I like PB&J with bacon even though it always gives me gas. (Your admitting that is self-defecating humor.)

Too much information, Dude!

self-deprecating humor 

Humor where you put yourself down.
Sometimes funny, but sometimes overused fishing for compliments or a signal of low self-esteem.

Self-deprecating humor 

A type of extremely stale humor, mostly used by youtubers to deviate criticism, desperately make a joke, make up for bad quality of videos and/or appear naive to an audience.
Youtuber: hey guys sorry for the low quality of videos for the past years and the constant manipulation of my subscribers, but hey i’m dumb and i have a small penis, so what did you expect LMAO

Audience: oh that doesn’t matter, we completely forgive you, you used self-deprecating humor and clearly see your faults!

self-deficating humor 

John's self-deficating humor was so potent he cleared the room.
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."
