Existism
Get the Existism mug.
Epistism
Epistism, from episteme, the Greek word for "knowledge," would signify the personal responsibility and ethical obligation to seek accurate, well-rounded knowledge before forming opinions or making statements. It captures the duty to be informed by actively researching and questioning claims, especially when it comes to topics that affect others or carry societal weight.
An epistist would be someone who believes that every person has a moral obligation to pursue verified knowledge, especially when encountering potentially misleading or manipulative information. This (most importantly) includes being critical of sources like the GOP or DNC, as their narratives can often be biased or tailored to fit a specific agenda.

P1: "I heard that hormone blockers cause irreparable harm to your kids body, and almost every trans kid is doing it!"
P2: "... can you have some epistism? Instead of just repeating that, why don’t you actually look up the data and see if it’s true?"
P1: "But <PoliticianHere> said it!
P2: "So you DON'T want to do research?"
P1: "That's not what I-"
P2: "Then do some research."
P1: "Ok ok, fine."
*20-30 minutes later*
P1: "Hey, uh-"
P2: :"Well?"
P1: "Yeah, so maybe I was wrong. Sorry about saying that."
P2: "Well, now you don't have to sound like a complete moron."
P1: "Yeah."

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.

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."

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.
