Chosen name 

A chosen name is a title/name that is preferred by a person, while not being a legal name. Chosen names are often used for nicknames, but have become popular with trans and non-binary individuals who feel their legal name does not suit their identity.
"My name is Robert, but I prefer to go by Bob, it's my Chosen name."
"Alrighty then, Bob."

50 Cent (who the original 50 cent was and why the rapper chose that name) 

The original 50 Cent (not the rapper) was from fort green in america he was known in every borough as the most vicious stick up kid around during the late 80's he wasn't really known for his "hustling" or anything like that; he was simply that dude who, when you saw him, you knew someone was about to come off their shit, be it cash, jewels or drugs. He died a violent death as a young man, but in his short reign, he definatly made his mark.

these words are not my own they are from 50x50 50 cent's autobiography now i've seen a lot of people saying that 50 Cent isn't a real gangsta and that he's just a wanksta but the fact is he was a gangsta and once you are a gangsta you stay gangsta forever, he was hustlin when he was 12 years old. people say oh he's only famous for being shot 9 times well thats bullshit he's famous because a lot of people like his music i personally like his music and i don't hear a new 50 track on the radio then go omg he's been shot 9 times im gonna go and buy his CD i can understand if you don't like his music but i dont understand is you saying that he's only famous for being shot. As far as im concerned 50 Cent is an original gangsta and im not linkin that because there isn't a proper definition of it up yet :)

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.
