Irish Potato Famine

A strong, alcoholic drink served primarily at Irish pubs and taverns. In a tall shot glass, a mixture of 2 parts Jameson whiskey is mixed with 1 part Chopin- a potato vodka. If served properly, it makes the bar patron vomit, grow week with hunger, and it will infect their daughter with cholera.

"Hey bartender, what are the drink specials?"

"Ní foclóir cuimsitheach acadúil atá ann ach a mhalairt Irish Potato Famine"

"...uh... I'll take an Irish Potato Famine?...OH NO! SUSIE!"

Irish Potato Famine

While attempting to fingerbomb a homeless Irish girl in a threeway, you realize that you're too late and the vagina has become otherwise occupied; now your hand has to starve in the cold.

When I tried to put my d in her v, I realized she was already getting fingerbanged. It was an Irish potato famine

Irish Potato Famine

A famine that occurred in then English-controlled Ireland from the years 1845-1849. It resulted from a catastrophic food supply failure that approximately led to one million deaths, most commonly in the areas of County Kerry, County Cork, and County Limerick.

The Irish Potato Famine was catastrophic for my ancestors.

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.

"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!"

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."
