Crazy like a Fox

an individual whose actions are unpredictable; they can be cunning (or at least like to think that they are) and a bit sneaky. Not to be confused with batshit crazy, though ingestion of alcohol and other narcotic substances can lead to the "fox" in question to lose the ability to disguise their craziness and indeed become a crazy freaking maniac

Crazy like a Fire Fox

A term originally derived from a conversation between a Russian and a Costa Rican describing a petite blond Hebrew girl of Gaelic Russian descent who has a phantasmagorical fascination with all things pyrotechnic. You could be called Crazy like a Fire Fox if you collect matches, collect lighters, have cute small hands adapted for playing with fire, and have a height, ideal speed, and agility perfect for fleeing fires. If you are cute, female, blond, petite, fast, agile, and are fascinated and love fire then you to could be defined as "Crazy like a Fire Fox."
Person number one "That little girl is flicking her lighter. Look! She has a collection of lighters!"

Person number two "That's not a little girl, she's just petite."

Person number one "She has the littlest hands. She shouldn't play with those lighters, she'll get hurt."

Person number two " She won't get hurt. Besides, look, her hands are super quick, and she's super fast and agile.

Person number one "She's crazy!"

Person number two " She's crazy alright, she's Crazy like a Fire Fox."

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!"
