Cyberpunk Syndrome 

When a game is rushed to completion after months of hype and suffers from being unpolished.
Black Ops 4, Sonic ‘06, and many more suffer from the dreaded Cyberpunk Syndrome.

Cyberpunk Syndrome 

Since the failure/flop of Cyberpunk, people have adapted an overly forgiving mindset towards the general game market.

'Overwatch 2 is coming out really late, and Overwatch 1 has gotten no ounce of content for 2.5 years?
that's fine honestly, we wouldn't want it to have bugs, right?'
It's been delayed for 2 years? That's ok, we wouldn't want it to have bugs! Better be patient!! Cyberpunk Syndrome

Cyberpunk 2077 Syndrome 

This syndrome appliers to new video games, and occurs when a new video game is announced that gets everyone excited, and hype begins to explode through the roof. The fans get beautiful looking trailers and release dates. Then, the game gets held back quite a bit until the devs finally decide to just release it. This leaves us with a half baked game, where the central core aspects of the game are quite amazing, but the game is a bug infested hell. This splits the fanbase into two groups, one which still praises the game like a godsend from heaven despite the games terrible optimization and bugs, and one which meticulously attacks anything bad about the game, despite the game functioning well enough to play for some people. This syndrome also starts messy debates as to why the game was released in it's current state, which is usually because the devs want to push it out as fast as possible in a "playable" state.

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.
