Shareknight 

A shareknight is someone who shares pictures on facebook or other social media drawing attention to whatever tragedy is in the news at the time, supposedly because they care, but mostly because they want people to know they care.
"Did you see that picture about tragedy x that John shared last night."
"Yeah, that dude is such a shareknight. I wish he'd stop wasting my precious bandwidth."
"When did sharing that stuff accomplish anything anyway?"

Shiteknight 

A shiteknight is a person with low self-esteem who combats this with an unwavering need to aid others in maintaining the delusion that they were born in the wrong body. They usually have very isolated personal lives as they are very judgmental of others, surrounding themselves only with those who feed their need to center men in gender-critical activism. Most commonly sighted in older men in regards to transgender identifying males.

Chronic shiteknighting often occurs in correlation with chronic self-esteem problems where the person needs to maintain a high view of themselves through self-righteous acts of pseudo-kindness. These people surround themselves with men and women still suffering from unresolved delusions of gender as a means to harvest praise and adulation for speaking over and denigrating women who question their tactics.

Shiteknighting is also associated with metastasized misogyny, homophobia, racism, and ableism as a shield against cognitive dissonance induced by requests from peers to examine one's behavior for bias.
"When women say Hayton is no ally of theirs because of his continued engagement in his autogynephilia fetish in women's spaces, Graham Linehan shiteknights for him."

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.
