Pulling a Meghan McCain 

Indicating ignorance on a subject to be somehow legitimate because "I wasn't born yet."

As when confronted by Paul Begala, on HBO's Real Time With Bill Maher, with the fact that Ronald Reagan blamed his problems on Jimmy Carter for many years, Meghan McCain responded, "I wasn't born yet, so I wouldn't know."

To which Begala replied, "I wasn't born during the French Revolution but I know about it!"
I asked my friend Daniel, "Who's bigger, Michael Jackson or Elvis Presley?"

Daniel: "Who's Elvis Presley?"

Me: "The King of Rock and Roll? Hello? '50s, 60s, 70s?"

Daniel: "How should I know? I wasn't even born then!"

Me: "Dude. Are you seriously pulling a Meghan McCain?"

Scott: Oh funny, that reminds me of that scene from The Goonies when they are on the underground pirate ship.

Willis: What is the Goonies?

Scott: You don't know what the Goonies is? You just pulled a Megan. I'm going to clothesline you.

Willis: What is a clothesline?

Scott: <clotheslines Willis>

Pulling a Megan 

When a person drinks too much alcohol too fast and soon after spends the rest of his/her night vomiting all over the sidewalk as well as hugging the porcelain goddess at home!

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!"
