Basicphobia

1. Simply, the fear of being basic, as defined as an excessive use of "like," totally," or "OMG." Basicness is also associated with an addiction to Starbucks Coffee or Dunkin' Donuts. Other signs of this affliction include, but are not limited to: only wearing/purchasing overpriced name brands (Michael Kors, Tory Burch, Lily Pulitzer), taking frequent selfies, and getting new acrylic nails weekly.

2. The repulsion that occurs when surrounded by basicness.

Amanda was worried about her health when she discovered that being near a Starbucks or viewing selfies on Instagram made her physically ill. However, she was relieved when her doctor informed her that it was just basicphobia.

Fear of falling. It's very similar to acrophobia (fear of heights) but not quite the same. Can also be written as 'basophobia'. Every baby has this, exept some grew out of it.

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.
