warm cut 

a route chosen, often in winter, that leads through heated buildings to escape intense cold, snow and other winter weather. Similar to a short-cut but does not usually reduce travel time, in fact, if often increases the length of the trip.

Person 2: Don't worry man, let's hang a left and take the warm cut through the library.

warmcut  

noun: A pedestrian route chosen for its warmth, rather than because it makes the pedestrian's trip shorter.

Warmcuts can be taken in an urban area, usually through a department store or office building that spans an entire city block, for the specific purpose of avoiding the cold weather outside.

On the way to my annual winter lunch with Pierpont, I took a warmcut through the County Services building.

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!"
