Back of the room Boys

The group of boys that is always present in the rear of every high school classroom. Usually consists of at least 3, but can be a bigger group. There's typically the group leader, who tells the best jokes, and who causes the most chaos during class. There's also the team player, who takes notes and sometimes brings food for the group; playing a crucial role as the "support member" of the group. This allows other group members to goof off, knowing that the team player has their back later on when they're doing homework or studying. The remaining member(s) are the munchers, who consume vast quantities of food during their occupation, even if they aren't hungry. This is usually done in an attempt to piss off the teacher, or to get a few good natured laughs from their classmates. Sometimes they also provide "belching fire" to distract the teacher so other members can engage in hooligan behavior, such as hitting a vape under the desk, or shooting spitballs at the ceiling.

The Back of the Room Boys 

Group of boys common in most classroom settings, usually consisting of 3, but can be more. They take up residence in the rear of a classroom; usually by the heating unit or a dusty bookshelf/filing cabinet. They use this area as their base of operations, as it's really easy to get away with goofing off in class. Some behaviors they take part in include, (but aren't limited to) consuming vast quantities of food, (sometimes for the soul purpose of making loud crunching sounds to piss off their classmates), burping really loud, kicking others seats, shooting volleys of spitballs, telling dirty jokes, destruction of school-owned property and overall being an absolute distraction to the current lesson at hand. Sometimes the group will migrate out of their dugout to the bathroom, where they can continue their bad behavior in a more private setting; such as vaping, or taking a monster shit in the urinal.

Goddammit. The back of the room boys are at it again.

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.

n. A screenshot fabricated by a company to misrepresent the graphics of a game; a combination of the words bullshit and screenshot.

Originated from Penny Arcade, a popular gaming webcomic.
-Have you seen Madden 2006 for the Xbox 360? The graphics are gonna be awesome!
-Dude, the Madden 2006 images they showed at E3 were bullshots. It doesn't look nearly as good as they said.
