Akroness 

The term "Akroness" is used to describe anything from, of, or relating to the city of Akron, Ohio, and is only fully understood by residents of the city. The first known use of the term "Akroness" was on January 16, 2004 when it was coined in the quote below:

"The food at El Rincon and Azteca is pretty much the same. Pretty much exactly the same. Azteca is just nicer of the inside. However, I perfer the dirty mexican "akroness" of El Rincon."

From here, an official definition of Akroness was created:

akroness - n.
1. a state of disheveled uncleanliness or disorder.
2. having the ironic quality of being simultaneously marked by outward signs of neglect and frequent use.
3. a state of being out of date or untrendy; unfadish (OLD FASHIONED)
4. a movement in urban planning from the 1920s and 1930s featuring tract housing, bungalows and the frequent placement of factories and chicken resturaunts (Akroness).
1. The absent minded professor could not clean up all of the akroness in his office.

2. Although the akroness leads one to belive otherwise, people actually do work in that building.

3. Akroness set in and caused the club to become unpopular with young people.

afropessimism 

The world-wide, systematic oppression of all people's of African origin, due to Caucasians running all major governments in the world and creating laws that only promote their ideals while simultaneously oppressing the all cultural and social aspects of black life, eventually leading to the conclusion that black people would be better off physically dead than socially dead, like they currently are.
An example of afropessimism would be that this definition won't be accepted due to the oppressive nature of the white man

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.
