christmas shopping

though i do love recieving gifts on chrismas day, its a shame that people have forgotten the spirit of the holiday season. christmas shopping basically translate to "buy all you can; take all you buy" day because thats all people care about.

Christmas list shopping

Going from store to store looking for items to put on your Christmas list. To be contrasted with regular shopping as you're just making a list of stuff you want versus actually buying anything.

Store clerk: Can I help you find anything?
Customer: No thanks, I'm just going Christmas list shopping.
Store Clerk: Oh, ok.

Christme Shopping

Christmas is on it's way, you've just bought gifts for all extended relatives and their dozen pets, isn't it time for a little personal splurging while you're out?
Simply put, going "Christme Shopping" is purchasing gifts exclusively for yourself - usually items that you know you aren't going to get otherwise, or could just be shopping for yourself around the holidays when the outlets are packed.

"Everyone else is looked after, time for a little Christme Shopping"

Christman Shopping

The manly art of going out the week before Christmas and buying yourself a gift that you really, really want thus causing your friends/family to return the one that they bought you that you hadn't opened yet.

Him: "So I really wanted a new leather coat and I saw this on a Christmas Eve sale and bought it for myself. It's my way of Christman shopping"

Her: "I guess the one that I bought for you can go to the homeless shelter for Christmas. At least they'll appreciate 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."
