Chicago Handshake

A form of greeting first made popular on Chicago's South Side during the 1920's.

As you reach out to shake someone's hand, you smile, step on their foot
then fire your snub nose .38 revolver through the pocket of a cheap overcoat.

BANG! BANG!

"Wat da fuck happened to Big Joe?"

"I dunno. Some guy was smiling and shaking his hand

like they wuz long lost friends then next t'ing ya know
I heard a coupla shots an' Joe's layin' dere wit' his dick

in da dirt an' the guy was gone!"

"Hey! Why is the toe of one of his $300.00 shoes all scuffed?"

"I dunno... This is some more South Side b.s.
Let's go before tha' cops get here."

"Yeah... It looks like Big Joe got himself

a Chicago Handshake."

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."
