A form of bait designed to provoke a user into violating community rules so they can be banned—either from a specific server or from an entire platform. Banbaiting involves subtle provocation: insulting the target's beliefs, triggering their trauma, questioning their integrity—anything that might elicit a response that breaks rules. The baiter remains calm, civil, rule-abiding, while the target, provoked, snaps. When the target curses, threatens, or attacks, the baiter screenshots and reports. The target is banned; the baiter remains, innocent-seeming, ready for the next victim. Banbait is the art of making someone else pay the price for your provocation.
Example: "He calmly disagreed with her politics, then insulted her intelligence, then mocked her education. She called him an asshole. He screenshotted immediately, reported her for harassment, and she was banned. Banbait had worked perfectly: he'd stayed within the rules while provoking her into breaking them. She was gone; he was still there, baiting the next target."

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.
