40 Highway 

U.S. Highway 40.
For some reason Missourians (Who mostly also pronounce Missouri wrong) say 40 Highway for Highway 40. They also do this for the other numbered state and U.S. highways, e.g., 71 Highway, 50 Highway, 7 Highway, etc. I have no idea why they do this, and I have come across no other group who does this.

highway 401 

Highway 401-- also known as the MacDonald-Cartier freeway is a stretch of highway in Canada that connects Windsor, Ontario and ends at the Ontario-Quebec border where it becomes Quebec Autoroute 20 before continuing on to Montreal.

The section of highway 401 that passes through Toronto is among the widest and busiest freeways in the world, peaking at 500,000 cars per day (in comparison to Los Angeles' Santa Monica Freeway at 480,000) and expanding to 18 lanes in some sections.

Due to heavy Canada-USA trading, it is also the busiest truck route on the planet.

Highway 401 also crosses the Don River Valley at Hogg's Hollow Bridge, which is the busiest multi-span bridge in North America-surpassing even the Brooklyn Bridge.
Driving on highway 401 at noon is a death sentence.

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."
