American Derangement Syndrome 

Canadians and Europeans are the most likely to have it. It's a sickness in which individuals live such uninteresting lives that their only source of enjoyment is hating on the world's greatest nation. The most common symptoms include flexing irrelevant geographic information that no one cares about, flexing free healthcare that comes with a tax rate four times that of the average American, and flexing colonial wealth from Africans' backs (Françafrique).
European: whats the capital, coat of arms, head of state and date of formation of Montenegro?
American: Who tf cares?
European: Bro you stupid American schools suck, smh
American: You got American Derangement Syndrome

American Derangement Syndrome 

A (not real) disease where a person has a massive freak-out when seeing someone being stupid and automatically assumes the person is an American, even with absolutely no evidence to support it.

Also known as: ADS (Abbreviation)

American Derangement Syndrome 

An irrational belief held by Americans that the U.S. is superior to other nations, particularly European countries, despite evidence of high crime rates and mass poverty levels, where 75+ million citizens cannot afford basic living costs like rent, groceries, healthcare, yet still defend the nation emotionally to save face and cope.

This can also apply to any western country with high cost of living that does not provide basic needs for its citizens such as Canada or the UK.
That boomer has american derangement syndrome, I can't afford rent and I'm living in my car!

Average American Derangement Syndrome 

The idea that the average American citizen does not know how to take care of him/herself, and must follow, without question, any and all policies of the Obama administration, and anyone who doesn't is a racist. Peaceful protesters are likened to rowdy hordes, individuals who question their representative at a round table discussion are deemed traitors, any person who holds traditional beliefs of any kind is branded a fanatic, and most disgracefully brave war veterans are labeled as extremists.
Some examples of Average American Derangement Syndrome:

-The Democratic National Committee wrote, "Republicans and their allied groups...are inciting angry mobs of a small number of rabid right wing extremists funded by K Street lobbyists to disrupt thoughtful discussions about the future of health care in America taking place in Congressional districts across the country."

-The Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi, stated, "They (protesters) are carrying swastikas and symbols like that to a town meeting on healthcare."

-Jennifer Crider, spokesperson for the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, stated, "Conservative activists don't want to have a conversation. They want to disrupt."

-Representative Gerry Connolly, a Democrat from Virginia and president of the freshman Democrats in Congress, stated that right-wing groups are moving the healthcare debate to "a dangerous level" by using false facts to create anger. He said, "When you look at the fervor of some of these people who are all being whipped up by the right-wing talking heads on Fox, to me, you're crossing a line. They're inciting people to riot with just total distortions of facts."

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."
