Buckhannon 

A small town in the heart of West Virginia. It boasts rolling green hills and lots of beautiful countryside. There is only one high school, with about a thousand students, and it's not even in the town.

Also, there are a lot of cool people in Buckhannon who aren't all "rednecks" or inbred. This city also used to have a decent underground music scene, which slowly faded away with the introduction of emo music...

Person 2 -- "I grew up in Buckhannon."

Person-- "...Never heard of it."

Mitch Buchannon 

A man who convinces a woman to enter a seemingly (but not) dangerous body of water for the sole purpose of rescuing her and becoming a hero.
Man: I dare you to walk out into the river.

Woman: It’s too cold! And fast!
Man: Nah, you’ll be fine.

Woman: Are you just trying to Mitch Buchannon me??!

(Two friends talking)

Friend #1: How was the lake?
Friend #2: Great, then shit got real. Had to pull my woman out of the water.

Friend #1: Dude, did you Mitch Buchannon her?!
Friend #2: Fuck yeah I did.

Buchannon Affair

An affair with a predetermined beginning and end, allowing a couple to grow as close as they want to during the affair without complicating their lives after the predetermined end.

The term was coined after the character Mitch Buchannon of the TV show Baywatch. Mitch needed to be presented as a romantic heartthrob capable of love, but one who, in order to keep the show interesting, could never be tied down. This forced writers to send all of his loves off to the other side of the world, whether for scientific research, caring for a dying parent or to "find themselves".

This allowed Mitch's heirum to transcend the superficial booty-call status but fall just short of marriage and permanence.
E- "Wow, Steve, do you have a girlfriend now?"

S- "No Eric, Why?"

E- "Who was that girl you were with the other night? You two looked like newlyweds, and you seemed so much more than eachother's bootycall"

S- "Oh, that was my Buchannon affair, Nikita. She has some important job in Russia and comes here for a few weeks once a year for recertification or something. Since we already know when she's leaving, it allows us to be as close as we want without worrying about anything too long term.

E- "Oh, like Mitch Buchannon, I get it..."

James Bucannon 

A real "blast" of a U.S. commander-in-chief with a big "booming" voice who created a lot of "thunder" during his presidency.
Maybe it's fortunate dat James Bucannon only served one term in da White House, or his politically "explosive" viewpoints and actions might have eventually sparked a Guy-Fawkes-style "gunpowder rebellion"!

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."
