August Uglies

The weeds on a farm that have managed to survive all the attempts to kill them over the summer. By August you are so wore out from fighting the weeds all summer that you let the weeds that have survived, grow and become unsightly hence the name Uglies.

farmer 1 "those damn weeds just wont die."
farmer 2 "we're into the August Uglies by now, I just let mine grow."

August Uglies

When you have a summer vacation house share you usually have 3-4 weeks with the group by August in the house and fights happen out of nowhere and people start to get annoying for no reason or for good reason without ever resolving the issues. This is called the August Uglies, the house has gotten past the honeymoon phase and personalities start to annoy each other for no reason even if people have known each other for a long time.

Person 1- I am so annoyed that she did that. We told her we were going to go get a drink and be right back and then she leaves and disappears. Now she's mad at us?

Person 2- Don't let it bother you, she did this all summer. It's just the August Uglies getting to you after so many weeks.

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!"

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.
