Heat Lightning 

Typically associated with weather, heat lightning is simply lightning. The nature of it can also be categorized with other words such as energy, spark, charge, etc. Weather aside, this phenomenon can be used to describe physical chemistry such as an intense feeling and/or moment.
When he kissed me, I went from cold to hot instantly...like heat lightning.

Heat Lightning 

A violent and deadly thunder strike... about 1 million and 10 times more deadly then a normal lightning. If your alive to see these rare (but constant occurrences in the United States), you more then likely will be dead. Caused from the amazing summers of the lower US states which reach above 400 degrees, the Heat Lighting forms as a giant ball of heat. Following which, the blistering sun turns it into a menacing tornado. This tornado, then forms a lightning bolt. The lightning bolt can reach temperatures of above 1000 degrees, and has been known to melt cars on impact. Once this bolt has formed from the sky and has stuck the ground, it then creates an explosion which ripples through the ground melting cars, people, streets, and houses. Its truly devastating.
Normal Lightning, but much hotter and deadlier. The word Heat Lightning is defined from its much hotter.

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."
