facebook wisdom

Ultimate stage of simplistic philosophy spread among facebook groups. This new-age ideology is mainly based on observations of life by mentally-challenged teenagers. It is generally related to relationship topics, despite writers having obviously no idea about what a relationship is. By connecting sweetness to dullness in a 'poetic' way, facebook wisdom creates a whole retarded approach to life.

Popular illustrations include:

"Love gives birth to jealousy but jealousy kills love"

"It's easy to learn loving but hard to forget"

"You can only fight when you know what you fight for"

"The adventure of life is to learn, the gaol of life is to grow, the nature of life is to change, the challenge of life is to overcome, the essence of life is to care, the beauty of life is to give, the joy of life is to love."

Possible use:
Sam: 'You know Bob, life may be hard but death is harder'

Bob: 'I just told you I've just been dumped! Now, stop the facebook wisdom and get me real advice.'

girl grip

The ability girls and women have developed to hold several items at once in one hand. The skill has been developed due to the lack of pockets in women's clothing.

I thought she'd need multiple trips to carry her phone, keys, wallet, and Starbucks to her car since she needed the other hand to open the door, but she used her impressive girl grip to carry everything in one hand.

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."
