boratism 

the cherry-picking and presentation of allegedly amusing examples of members of a particular group acting stupid, especially when collected by means of "man on the street" interviews, having the effect of reinforcing stereotypes, provoking riducule and/or raising feelings of alarm toward the target group.
In "Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan", we see Boratism at it's height: the manufactured portrayal of a nation as a collection of idiots.

In the end, everyone will die and fade away. Because of this, we are all in the same boat. Boatism encourages the spread of kindness because we're all in this together.
He practices Boatism and searches for meaning along with all his other boat companions.

Boatism, the "religion" for those who need no religion.

The "oars" of Boatism:
1) Be a good person
2) Smoke herb
3) Drink tea
4) Chill

Any of these besides 1) are optional, but they most certainly help.

Now...
Imagine you're sat on a boat, with everything YOU would want to make the moment absolutely PERFECT.
This is the Boat of Perfection.
When you realise how much you love it, become a Boatist.

The Boatist "Church" - wherever the fuck you like.
The Boatist "Ceremony" - spark up.
The Boatist "God" - The Boat of Perfection.

To become a Boatist, simply tell yourself you are a Boatist, and be safe, then the world's your oyster.

We are a non-hate, non-profit & non-structured "organisation", so we don't want your shit, your money or your idea like "man we should all go sit on a boat somewhere and be like wow" because...nah. Just live your life in your own way, as long as it's not lame.

So surround yourself with good people, and try not to give too much of a stuff about anything that doesn't really matter.

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.
