Greighties

When a Gen-Xer who never evolved past his/her adolescence fondly waxes nostalgic about what was perhaps the greatest of all decades.

You'll never know how amazing it was to grow up in the 80's...hair bands ruled, the movies were the best ever and i was getting laid 3 or 4 times a day. It was the greatest time ever, it was the GREIGHTIES

The girls at the office weren’t fans of the company’s new logo. Sara thought the logo’s colors were pulled straight from the flag at the gay pride parade. Tanya felt the logo outdated the company – like the employees should be wearing light peach suits with shoulder padding. Courtney agreed with all the above; it was a very gaighties logo.

Alternate Example: George Michael

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."
