18 and 1

Synonymous with complete failure despite supreme confidence. In perhaps the biggest upset in Super Bowl history, the NY Giants defeated the heavily favored New England Patriots who entered Super Bowl XLII with a perfect 18-0 record. So sure of themselves, the Patriots filed applications to patent the phrase "19-0" and "19-0 The Perfect Season" more than a week before the game, only to have their collective asses handed to them by the Giants.

18 and Lost

A phonetic play on words on the NFL's New England Patriots 18-1 season. Instead of "Eighteen and One" or "Eighteen and Won", the appropriate term should be "Eighteen and Lost".

Pats Fan: "Yeah, well, the Patriots still had an amazing 18 and 1 season".

Giants Fan: "You mean '18 and lost' .... Sucka"!

Pats Fan: "I'm going to go cry now and masturbate to my Tom Brady Poster".

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!"
