Like a Stone

A song by the supergroup audioslave, argueably thier most well known song among audiences and generally a fan favorite along with "be yourself","show me how to live" and "cochise" by the band.

rumoured to be about the death of Layne Staley, however, lead singer chris cornell denied this saying "I wrote this long before his death". the true meaning is the idea of being isolated in a room, waiting for death to come, "like a stone", hence the title.
My favorite audioslave song is "like a stone"

Like a Rolling Stone 

One of the greatest rock songs of all time. With a simple organ riff, electric guitar, piano, tambourine and harmonica all perfectly balanced in the song. The song ran over six minutes, an incredible amount of time for a song in that period, with most being 2-4 minutes long. The authenticity in Dylan's voice (H-o-o-w does it feel?) is very well felt throughout. At one point, this song was six pages long, and Dylan cut it down to what it became. Rolling Stone Magazine voted this as the greatest rock song off all time, topping a list of 500. Dylan even said himself, "Stone's the best song I ever wrote."
Ahh...how does it feel? To be without a home? Like a complete unknown...Like a Rolling Stone...

stoned like a hippy 

To be high on marijuana like a member of the flower children.
Look at the guy over there. He is stoned like a hippy, as clearly indicated by his red eyes and easily-amused state.

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."
