Flatposting

A goalpost‑moving tactic that demands the target “prove” they are not like Flat Earthers. The perpetrator sets impossible standards of proof—often requiring the target to address absurd hypotheticals or to disavow views they never held. When the target refuses to engage with the ridiculous framing, the flatposter declares that their silence proves the comparison is apt. Flatposting is a way to force opponents into defending against nonsense, wasting their energy while appearing to have made a substantive point.
Example: “He demanded she explain why her theory wasn’t like believing the Earth is flat. When she ignored the troll, he posted ‘see, she can’t defend her ideas.’ Flatposting: forcing your opponent to argue against a straw man.”

Flatplating 

Flatplating is the act of inserting a ceramic plate into the anal cavity, oriented in such a manner that the entrance into the rectum is widened to the diameter of the plate. This is done through the rotation of the plate so that the view from the anus sees just a circle approaching it. The activity can be done with a partner, but that is optional. When flatplating, you have to be white because only white people would do shit like that :).
Eugene: Ay yo I'm about to do some Flatplating at 8:00 PM tomorrow.
Percival: We're white.

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.
