Get the Indian standard time mug.
Indian Standard Time (IST)
A running joke among us Indians who always come late to any kind of fun events (parties, celebrations, attending religious worship, etc). We usually come 15 minutes to 30 minutes to an hour behind schedule due to laziness, procrastination, or having families who take forever to get ready.
It's also hypocritical cos we end up early for boring stuff like school and examinations because if we don't our parents will whip us for it.

"Hey Sanjay, you came here so late dude! you missed out on cake, shots, games, truth or dare! How did you get here?"
"Hey Jake, I only came here in Indian Standard Time (IST)"
"What do you mean Indian Standard Time?"
"you live only 20 minutes from me, so I left exactly at 7 pm when the party started, and then I realised I forgot to get your present halfway through, so I drove 10 minutes back home to get the present, only to realise my dog Sultan pissed on the couch so I spent another 20 minutes cleaning the couch, then I had to take a 20-minute shower to get the stench off me, and my girlfriend Preethi told me to do the dishes so I spent 20 minutes on the dishes, then on my way to your place the shortest route had a car crash, so I took the route that made me late by 30 minutes, and I'm here now!"

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.
