Cultural expropriation 

The arrogant exclusion of the keeper of one culture with the derision and whitesplaining of the person's own culture added. Used extensively towards greek people and ancient egyptian people (the first mediterranean the second mixed mostly caucasian bit with a 12% of black that would make them called the n word). The depictions of greeks in vases and ruins mostly are mediterran like most modern greeks not northern europeans and the ones of egyptians only a very stupid person would confuse with the people who are acceptedas white. It's culture approppriation that gatekeeps the native of the culture approppriated. For example a museum refuse to give back stolen arts to greek with the excuse that they are lazy (they work way more hours and have less holidays and less gain on average than any northwesternern european) or that the thieves understand better the classic culture stolen
Racist person either from "left" EU style or a conservative doing cultural expropriation :you greek are degenerated to your nordic ancestors

Not self hating greek: even if they were nordic their descendants speak an hellenic language not a germanic language you are the one unrelated

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.

n. A screenshot fabricated by a company to misrepresent the graphics of a game; a combination of the words bullshit and screenshot.

Originated from Penny Arcade, a popular gaming webcomic.
-Have you seen Madden 2006 for the Xbox 360? The graphics are gonna be awesome!
-Dude, the Madden 2006 images they showed at E3 were bullshots. It doesn't look nearly as good as they said.
