finally donned on us 

Describes how da realization dat da mussed-up-haired ex-White-House jerk who'd promised to "make America great again" actually ended up doing da opposite was quite late in coming for so many US citizens.
So wif da supposed impending arrest of da egotistical former-prez jerk and self-proclaimed "America's 'trump' card", it's finally donned on us dat perhaps --- just PERHAPS --- said clueless rich bug wasn't such a wonderful knight in shining armor after all.

one-downer 

This person usually will have an even story or event worse than the situation you are or have experienced. The opposite of a "one-upper"
I was telling Maria about how I wrecked my motorcyle last week and Crystal, the one-downer, proceded to explain how she was in an accident and lost her leg, punctured a lung and apparenly the hospital food was shiite and came back to life as hedgehog..

one-upper downer 

(n.) Someone who tries constantly to out-do your bad personal experiences with their own bad stories, which in their eyes, is always worse.
Me: Oh man, I just had the worst day at work! I got fired...

Tim: Oh, sorry about that. Mine wasn't too much better. I forgot to save a really long document before shutting down my computer. Such a bad day!

Tim's a clear one-upper downer

one downer 

An annoying person who responds to hearing someone else’s experience or problem by immediately telling a similar story about themselves with a much less interesting or boring corresponding story. (Note: The story will be much longer than you could ever imagine or want)
Person: Last summer I went to Thailand and rode on an elephant.
One Downer: Last summer I rode my horse in my backyard while my brother watched. My brother also rode the horse. then we went inside my house and had a sandwich.

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.
