Jeffersonville

Jeffersonville is a city in Southern Indiana, and of all cities in this region, it is most likely the one with the fewest "hicks". While it does have many cornfields, downtown Jeffersonville is actually a nice place to spend the day. There is an amazing view of the Ohio River and Louisville, Kentucky. I wouldn't quite call it a tourist destination, but if you were going somewhere and Jeffersonville was on the way, you might want to stop there if you have a bit of extra time. The majority of people there are very nice and know much history about both the region itself and most of the world. Sadly, along with many other Southern cities in Indiana, the "hick" stereotype is often addressed to Jeffersonville. However, you have to go up a bit farther to find "hicks". That said, you won't find many around here--it's just like any other small city; some people are ungodly intelligent, and others aren't. Some people have obnoxious heavy southern accents...most don't. Some people are complete imbaciles...and again, most aren't.

Jeffersonville has some nice local restaraunts, especially downtown. So if you happen to be traveling and need something amazing to eat with fair prices, you're in the right place.

If you happen to be moving to Jeffersonville, don't be discouraged just because it happens to be in Indiana. There is actually lots of nice housing, and you'll probably end up with some of the most friendly neighbors you could ask for. No, you aren't going to live on a farm wherever you go. You're going to live in a nice house, just like anywhere else on Earth.

Most people in Jeffersonville are well educated, and tons of them are relatively athletic. Most of the schools in Jeffersonville are nice and up-to-date.

The neighboring cities of Jeffersonville tend to be a bit more "country". This does not mean that they aren't nice, though, as on your way out you might want to stop in Clarksville or Louisville, especially if you're looking for a few small attractions or food.

It's not my favorite place in the world, but that doesn't mean it isn't great.
Jeffersonville is probably one of the most useful cities in Indiana, as well as not having many "hicks".

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.
