Icecubes don’t melt from the inside
“Icecubes don’t melt from the inside” could be a reminder that most destruction, decay, or transformation begins where we are exposed.
In life, we often think strength comes purely from our inner core — and it does — but even the strongest heart can be worn down by constant exposure to a hostile environment. Pain, doubt, and change usually seep in from the edges: the moments we let our guard down, the small compromises we make, the little lies we tell ourselves.
The melting doesn’t begin because the inside suddenly stops being strong. It begins because the world outside gets warm enough to reach us. The lesson? Protect the edges of your soul. Be mindful of what you surround yourself with, because even ice — clear, cold, solid — will eventually surrender to the temperature of its environment.

Fleg
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.

Skeef
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."
