Baltimore Orioles 

An underrated team with a (currently) good manager, great bullpen, and asshole owner. Nonetheless, the pride of Baltimore and about half the DC population, (the other half being those who traded allegiance to the Nationals).

Referred to as the O's, the Birds, etc. The only team in the MLB to have only an animal, not a letter, on its caps.

The reason all of Maryland sings the "O!" in the Star-Spangled Banner.

Home team of some of the best retired players in baseball, such as Robinson and Ripken.

Currently in a rebuilding rut, the Orioles are improving rapidly. Die-hard fans hang on, and wait for the (hopefully soon) year when the O's prove how awesome they are and win the pennant.

Mortal enemies of the Yankees.

Also, Camden Yards is probably the prettiest ballpark on the East Coast.
One of the only good things about Baltimore is the Baltimore Orioles

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.
I was folding my clothes and a huge hair spider fell out onto my hand
