Grian-Proofing

The act of adding a specific feature onto a theoretically finished contraption or building to stop Grian from tampering with it, which may result in said contraption/building being destroyed in a half a second.

To be used in the context of Minecraft

Grian-Proofing may also be used to classify some kind of lock on an object that stops it from being used by normal people that don't have the key.
Guy1: "OK, I think I've finished this massive redstone-only item filter."
Guy2: "Did you Grian-Proof it?"
Guy1: "Oh yeah... Would adding a misc. item bin be sufficient Grian-Proofing?"
Guy2: "Make sure he can't get the items back"
Guy1: >:3

Grian-Proofing

To create a machine, contraption or building and add specific features that would prevent a Grian from wanting to interact with it, to stop him from breaking it in a fraction of a second, or to keep him not wanting to use it.

Must be used in the context of Minecraft.

Grian-Proofing may also be done with specific items but trapping them with him knowing - anything would prevent a wild Grian from completely obliterating what you've just spent half your life on is a viable Grian-Proofing measure.
Guy1: "OK, I think I've nearly finished creating this massive item filter for redstone-only items"
Guy2: "Wait, remember to add a seperate item bin onto the end, that should Grian-proof it well enough to stop it from clogging,"
Guy1: "Oh yeah... I forgot about Grian-Proofing."

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.
