Jar Jar Binks' rib-cracking Gungan rendition of the commonly known but rarely spoken phrase "how rude" in George Lucas' 1999 magnum opus Star Wars: Episode I-The Phantom Menace.

Binks is perhaps best known for demonstrating the versatility of this expression and reviving it from near-certain obsolescence in an increasingly callous American culture where rudeness has made enormous gains in legitimacy over the past half-century, even becoming embroidered into the very fabric of society. The devilish simplicity of changing a simple letter, "r," to "w" in order to achieve a multi-faceted meaning that both chides the offender and toys with cutesy-humor is the product of what can only be described as formidable, razor-sharp wit.

Binks has achieved widespread recognition and acclaim for his impeccably delivered alien Ebonics. Everyone is also in wide agreement that Binks is just a CUDDLY-WUDDLY WIDDLE ALIEN as well.

Jar-Jar Binks: Yipe! HOW WUDE!

Some asshole kidnaps you, rips out your teeth, and buries you up to your neck in wet earth, denying you food and water and offering only semen sucked from his cock as a source of sustenance. He also forces you to recite the Gettysburg Address each morning at dawn. You look him directly in the eye and say, "HOW WUDE!"

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.
