Sydneysider 

A person who lives in Sydney, Australia and really hates Melbourne. Their hobbies include sooking about how Sydney is better than Melbourne because they have a massive chip on their shoulder.

Most of them are having trouble dealing with the fact that Sydney has had its day, and Melbourne has no where to go but up. Typically, they will have go on about how much it rains in Melbourne, oblivious to the fact that Sydney's average rain fall is higher than that of Melbourne's.

While they're at it, they'll also like to tell you that NRL is better than AFL. Again, oblivious to the fact that the average attendance for a home and away NRL game is about 15,000, while a home and away AFL game averages 40,000. The games that break the average are usually Melbourne Storm games held at Etihad Stadium.

They are also upset that Melbourne is the sporting, fashion and cultural capital of Australia. Sydney is although home to Australia's drug capital, King's Cross.

When they are not going on about how bad Melbourne is, they are usually sitting around bored because they don't have anything else to do.
Melbournian in Sydney "I'm happy to be heading back to Melbourne today,"
Sydneysider "Melbourne sucks, I can't stand it. It's really funny how Melbournians think we have a chip on our shoulder, the way they see it, you'd think all we ever do is complain about Melbourne!"

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.

n. A screenshot fabricated by a company to misrepresent the graphics of a game; a combination of the words bullshit and screenshot.

-Dude, the Madden 2006 images they showed at E3 were bullshots. It doesn't look nearly as good as they said.
