Bowl Game

A post-season football game played by the top ranked teams in NCAA Football.

In college football parlance, the term "bowl" can also be used as a verb: as in a successful team going "bowling".

The term "bowl" originated from the Rose Bowl Stadium, site of the first post-season college football games.

There are Tiers of bowl games too, some are more prestigous. The Rosebowl, Orange Bowl, Fiesta Bowl, Sugar Bowl, and Cotton bowl all have a great history, and are known for having the top ranked teams.

Teams must be in the BCS Bowl Champion Series subdivision.

Chuck: I heard Ohio state is going to the Rose Bowl this year.
Gnarles: Yeah, they go to that bowl game because they are a great team.
Chuck: Crappier teams like Kansas State get to go to the Texas Bowl.
Gnarles: Yeah, and Rutgers Destroys them!

Taking the browns to the bowl game

Crapping or taking a dump. Since the Cleveland Browns have never gotten to the superbowl it is unlikely that people will confuse this with anything actually football related.

Dude1: Where you going?
Dude2: I'm taking the browns to the bowl game.
Dude1: Good luck, go for the 2 point conversion.

Ohio State Bowl Game

The act of over-inflating ones self-confidence by playing a long stretch of weaker competition, and then becoming overwhelmed when confronted by a respectable opponent.

Wow, That 16 year old has a bad case of Ohio State Bowl Game. I can’t believe the way he’s is picking on that 9 year old. Just wait till he tries that on somebody his own size.

These Ohio State Bowl Games get worse every time. I lost track of how many years in a row it has been where the Buckeyes have been overrated because they play a pathetically easy regular season; only to be totally annihilated when forced to play a respectable opponent.

After beating Youngstown State, Navy, and Toledo; all the Buckeyes have to do is beat Michigan before they get crushed in their standard Ohio State Bowl Game appearance.

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.

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

-Dude, the Madden 2006 images they showed at E3 were bullshots. It doesn't look nearly as good as they said.
