Bus pusher

A bus pusher is a term used for a group of golfers who due to the complete incompetence of their bus driver were forced to push their minibus a distance of many miles because the driver was too short (sighted) to recognise that the fuel gauge was showing a dangerously low level of fuel. The passengers that day should have known not to trust the bus driver. He has previous instances of incompetent behaviour including doing a u-turn on the A90 while travelling at approx. 60 mph and not recognising that the big steel floating objects in Aberdeen harbour were actually boats.
John: I really don’t think you have enough diesel to make it back to the airport, there is a filling station up the road here I really think you should stop and put a fiver of diesel in

Casey: I agree with my fellow front seat passenger and expert navigator John, I would recommend stopping for a quick drop of diesel, we definitely don’t want to run out before we get there

Back seat passengers: We agree with the 2 intelligent & handsome men in the front Jimmy, make sure you don’t run out of fuel.

Jimmy: A fuck it we will be alright, we’ll chance it.

Jimmy: (a couple of miles later) Ah Jaysis lads we’re after running out of diesel, how did that happen?

Willie: You’re nothing but a useless Bollix Jimmy, now we will all have to get out and push

Frank: I’m going to have a smoke and walk behind the bus, I don’t want to be a bus pusher

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.

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