Best City Ever

It's obviously NYC. I mean, you knew what NYC meant without me even telling you it was New York City. That's proof enough, isn't it?

If you're stubborn, or if you're from Boston, Chicago, or Los Angeles, here's more proof that NYC's better than any other city in the world:

1) Jealous cities always compare themselves to NYC.

2) New York City is bigger than any other US city in both ways - by population AND area.

3) You can see a person from every culture in the world just by standing on a sidewalk in Manhattan during the first ten minutes of rush hour.

4) We have the best pizzas, the best bagels, the best Italian food, the best shopping areas, the best sports teams, the best Christmas tree, the best tourist attractions... we have the best, well, EVERYTHING...

5) Where else have you seen a place with eight Chinatowns and five Little Italies?

6) It's the third safest city out of the twenty largest cities in the US. So don't be callin' us criminals.

7) We experience all four seasons. You can swim in the summer and go sledding during winter.

8) The terrorists tried to destroy us 'cause of our awesomeness. And guess what? They failed. 'Cause, as I said, we're awesome.

9) We're home to many of the world's greatest rappers.

10) NYC has the largest subway system in America, meaning you can get from Brooklyn to the Bronx without even touching a steering wheel.
1) Jealous dude: We're better than New York, bro... WE'RE the best city ever!

2) Hey, did you know that NYC has over eight million people and is four hundred sixty-nine square miles large?

3) Oh my gosh! I saw fifty-one Caucasians, forty-six African Americans, fifty-three Hispanics, and thirty-six Asians in just thirty seconds!

4) Man 1: Hey, have you tried a NYC pizza?
Man 2: Yeah, it's the best in the world.

5) Get over here, Sam! Which Chinatown are we going to?

6) This place is as safe as Boise, Idaho.

7) Woman 1: Look! It's snowing!
Woman 2: Wow. You don't see that much in Los Angeles.

8) New Yorker 1: Remember 9/11?
New Yorker 2: Yeah. The terrorists will never win.

9) Whoa, you know 50 Cent? He's from New York City!

10) Lady 1: I just got here from the Queens.
Lady 2: That's really far away! How much was the gas?
Lady 1: Oh, I didn't drive. I took the subway.

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.
