Shonen Knife
A Japanese punk lady trio, hailing from Osaka, Japan. They formed in 1981 and they play power-pop-punk rock music inspired by the Ramones, Beach Boys, 60s 'girl groups' (singing trios) and Japanese pop. Unlike most punk bands they generally write about more 'positive' topics, esp. food, good times and occasionally sci-fi. They don't push a sexual image but they do have a 'cutesy-wutsey' kawaii image, and they often draw in the cosplay crowd but make no mistake - those women are punk rockers, and they can kick out the jams - HARD. Some critics label this band under the category of 'cuddlecore'.
1. I've seen and met Shonen Knife five times. They always put on an exciting electrifying set. They're very fan friendly, after a show they'll talk with you, pose for selfies, sign anything.
2. Their audience is expanding beyond generations. The last 2 times I saw them they were playing full houses to audiences that had adults in their 40s and 50s.
3. Play a Shonen Knife CD in your car and it'll take you outta your doldrums in no time.
4. Shonen Knife is simply a FUN band to hear and see. What's wrong with just plain fun? When they come to your town to play, check them out.

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.

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."

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.
