Euroscum 

Someone from the continent of Europe, often found in the cheapest hostels, dormitories and capsule hotels around the world. As long as this disease is contained within Europe, I don't have a problem with them. But these days the Euroscum choose to infect desirable vacation spots in Asia such as Macau, Goa, Phuket, Jeju Island, or Bali, bringing their cheap sunglasses and smelly suntan lotions everywhere. While the hostel owners and guided tour operators love them, Euroscum are universally despised by wealthy Asians, and even not-so-wealthy Asians.

The Euroscum are the reason you choose to book a fairly expensive hotel so that you don't run into them to exchange those awkward hellos and "Wanna smoke?" sessions. Every single one of them is a nicotine addict chuffing smoke with tar deliberately to shorten other people's lives. They like to extensively talk about politics, cheap hostels, ridesharing deals, and anything that involves spending less money because they're such total cheapskates.

The easiest way to ditch a Euroscum is to make them a suggestion that involves spending money: "Hey, looks like we both have nothing much to do. Let's go shopping at the local mall. I need to buy new clothes and you must upgrade those cheap sunglasses. No one likes them here. This isn't Europe, my friend." Or just tell them that you're allergic to smoking. If you're a non-alcoholic, that should work in your favor.
Friend: "Hey, looks like the hotels in Macau are going to be very expensive for those dates. Do you think we should book a dormitory with shared bathroom? That would be a lot cheaper."

Me: "Noooooooo.....we'll be surrounded by those poverty-stricken Euroscum roommates. I'm travelling to the Macau Casinos for good luck, and I don't want those cheapskates ruining any good vibes we'll have. If you can't find a decent hotel in Macau, try looking for a Hyatt or Marriott in Zhuhai, China. Not very far really. We can hire a daily cab."
Friend: "Yea....anything to keep our distance from the Euroscum."

Me: "So where you're from?"
Euroscum: "I don't really know where I belong. I mean I was born in Belgium, but I have a German citizenship, but I currently live in Spain. I mean I used to live in Spain for twenty years till it got too expensive, so I recently shifted to Romania. And isn't it sweet, right now we're all here in Asia. My long-separated parents are from Czech Republic and Sweden. Do you have a cigarette lighter?"
Me: "Oh you're a Euroscum all right. And no, I don't smoke cigarettes.

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.
