1. Noun - Acronym for "University of Texas at Los Angeles." The term was first coined when UCLA students wore Texas burnt orange t-shirts to a USC vs. UCLA basketball game in a failed and feeble attempt to ridicule USC's loss to the Longhorns in the 2006 Rose Bowl. Unfortunately the plan backfired on the gutty little Bevos and they have been ridiculed for that failed stunt ever since.

2. Adopting the athletic accomplishments of one school in an attempt to ridicule another school; usually occurs in cases where the adopting school is woefully pathetic at sports in general.

3. Verb - A stunt which backfires and causes ridicule and embarrassment to the person seeking to ridicule.

4. Taking credit for something you didn't do.
Noun - "See that UTLA student over there cleaning my floors."

Verb: "Did you see that boomerang miss the intended target and hit the thrower in the face? Man, that guy just got UTLA'd."

(Buffalo Bill fans wearing Pittsburgh Steeler jerseys at a Seattle Seahawk game) "Looks like they are pulling an UTLA."

"Al Gore claims he invented the internet, that's so UTLA."

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.
