minmaxer 

Someone who attempts to understand the nuances of a role-playing system in order to tweak their character to be highly optimized, usually for a single task such as combat.
"Bob is a Minmaxer. The other day i heard him saying:" "Each Agil give +1 attack power, but only while in cat form, so if i get strength gear instead, i can get the bonus while in all forms, but then again i will lose the dodge bonus, but since i wont be tanking this is an acceptable loss and i can squeeze .346 extra dps out of the character....."

minmaxer 

A role-playing game player who forgoes making a well-rounded character to make an uber-powerful combat monster. Frequently a player with low self-esteem who is intent on making their character 'better' than the others.
"Yeah, Liz just buffed out Strength and Dexterity and got nothing but combat feats. She's just a minmaxer."

min-maxer 

A min-maxer is someone who tries to maximize the minimal amount of efforts to make in daily life.
It often happens in crowded cities, where people don't hesitate to cut you off, so that they make the least amount of steps to go where they have to. In the process, they pretend they don't see you, even though you had to stop at 1/12th inch of them, right before bumping into them.
Parisians excel at this.
When visiting Paris I encountered a lot of min-maxers.
At the end of the day, I was about to go postal on anyone because of them.

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."
