Little Shop of Horrors

A very funny off-Broadway musical set in the 1950's on Skid Row. It contains singing, dancing, love, murder, and one very evil plant.

Seymour Krelborn, a clumsy florist shop assistant, finds an unknown plant that looks like "a cross between a Venus flytrap and an avocado". He names it Audrey II after his coworker, Audrey, whom he is in love with.

Seymour soon finds out that Audrey II requires blood to live. He feeds it, and it grows to monstrous size. Audrey II reveals that it can move, talk, and sing (in a very deep, commanding voice) and demands more blood. This leads to Seymour having to feed people to the plant. He does this willingly because the plant has brought him fortune and fame, love and money and instant acclaim.

But, despite all that Audrey II offered Seymour, the moral of this musical is: "Don't Feed The Plants!"
"Little Shop, Little Shoppa Horrors, Little Shop, Little Shoppa Terror, Call a cop, Little Shoppa Horrors, oh oh-oh oh-no-o" --"Little Shop of Horrors", first song of the musical, sung by the Doo-Wap Girls: Crystal, Ronnette, and Chiffon.

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.
