coffeeshopped

When you prowl from coffee shop to coffee shop, in a search to find a quiet place to work, OR when you use the shop as a resting point on a longer day excursion.

Concisely, when you prowl through coffee shops looking for temporary warmth and/or free wifi.

I pretty much just coffeeshopped around the town today. The wind was really brutal, so whenever my fingers went numb, I just ducked inside the nearest one.

Yeah, I coffeeshopped for awhile, and the one on Grovenser's Street has outlets for my laptop charger, so I worked there for a bit.

coffeeshopesque

exuding the general comfortable, casual, trendy, homely, creative, and/or peaceful atmosphere of the family-owned cafe downtown.

There's this tiny java place I go to all the time to work, read, or just chill out. I like it 'cause it's so coffeeshopesque, you know? Real coffee smell, old leather couches, open mic night on Thursdays... nothing like the machine-generated Starbuckses on every street corner.

coffeeshopping

The act of going to coffee shops while performing work that makes one fee like a functioning, productive human. (Work may include, but is not limited to, school work, big kid job work, shopping on Etsy, etc.)

Person 1: What are your plans for today?

Person 2: I'm going coffeeshopping; I need to finish studying for tomorrow's midterm.

migrant coffeeshopping

When you prowl from coffee shop to coffee shop, often in search of a quiet and free (ish) place in which to work. (warning--you will be expected to buy at least one small item per shop).

I've been migrant coffeeshopping all week in order to finish writing my book.

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.

"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!"

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."
