Ginger Transition Temperature 

This is the temperature up to which the ginger is said to be more relaxed and comfortable. Approaching 16'C there is a slight change in state (Tg) from relaxed to mildly irritated. a colour transition is also noted (typically - white to pale pink).

It does depend on how quickly you heat them up tho and to which max temp (25-30'C). Note here that a fast heating rate will cause non-relaxation and charring...

if you employ a typical heating rate of 1'C/min across a range of -4'C to 16'C you will cause the subject to go through what is called the Tg or ginger Transition temperature.

The next step is to slow the heating rate to 0.2'C/min as anything in excess of this can cause ginger stress in the subject (indicated by pink cheeks and a frown).

En route to 25'C it is imperative to introduce the chemical SPF 1000000 or White Exterior Walls Gloss Paint. This allows the ginger to slowly come to terms with the external environment.

If however the system is feeling imbalanced on a particular day then a coating of tin foil and cellotape can also be utilised for masking any external environmental influence.

after 25'C the system may become unstable and pink cheeks and frown are subject to progress into bouts of severe irritation.A whining noise is also typically noted at ca. 27'C.

After which the subject will char severely and rapidly degrade into a pile of angry ash.

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.
