Friendventory 

It's one of those times in your life when you're questioning who is and who ISN'T really important to you...on Facebook (yeah, Facebook. Hahaha!). So you decide to take a gander at that friend list of yours and begin weeding them out machete style.
So I was really contemplating who my true friends were on Facebook and decided it was time to do a little friendventory. Weed 'em out, ya know??

Facebook Friendventory 

A portmanteau derived from the act of the periodic and systematic inventory of one's Facebook friends list. Usually detailing the actions of: dropping by friend's pages that you haven't talked to in a while just to see what's up and catch up (for completist's sake), deleting people who you don't even remember why you made friends with them in the first place, dropping by borderline friend's pages and leaving a note for them and deleting them if they don't respond in a reasonable period of time (if they were a real friend they would have responded in timely manner); the systematic weeding out of ex-friends, ex-boy/girl friends, ex-coworkers, etc. Also the deletion of people you thought were intresting and/or people who have become undesireable to associate with, etc.
I have over 150 facebook friends and only regulary communicate with 50 of them. What gives? Time for some Facebook Friendventory.

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.
I was folding my clothes and a huge hair spider fell out onto my hand
