Hot Knee
Get the Hot Knee mug.
Hot Dog Knees
A rare condition in which too much synovial fluid invades the patellofermoral groove and alters the position of the menisci. The accompanying swelling distends the knee, prohibits full range of motion and can eventually cause muscle atrophy from restricted use. Locking of the knee can also occur.
Etymology
The name describes the appearance of the medial (tibial) and lateral (fibular) collateral ligaments, which because of the inflammation resemble the appearance of hot dogs. Additionally, this condition is most common in Japan, particular among those who participate in hot dog eating contests.
Treatment
Avoiding hot dogs is the best prevention and treatment for this condition; however, you should consult an orthopedist about whether an arthroscopy is needed. See a dietitian if the condition persists and/or if you are unable to remove hot dogs from your diet.

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.

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."

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.
