definitionist 

Definitionist: One who makes definitions. This includes any and all of the wonderful people who've ever added a definition to Urban Dictionary. These people take delight in redefining the liquid, shifting creation that is the English language, either by reworking antiquated words and giving them dynamic new meanings, or else creating entirely new words. It's definitionists we have to thank for such excellent words as: Cool, Posse, Grippa, and basically anything with gratuitous "th"s, "q"s or "y"s, such as "quoth", "thy", "thou", "quip", "hast", and "thine".
Casual Reader: Dang, some of those definitionists really need to find something else to do...

Intelligent Person: Are you kidding? It's definitionists that we have to thank for no longer using the language of the 18th century! I don't know about you, but I don't think that talking like I'm in a Shakespeare play is very cool.

Casual Reader: Wow, you're right! You know what? I'm going to become a definitionist today!

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."
