McGladrey 

A mid-tier accounting firm that is akin to the dating term "sloppy seconds." Almost all employees who start here were rejected from Big Four accounting firms because they have the personality and IQ of door knobs. This firm saves resources on strategic planning by copying some of the progams of larger accounting firms, only a year later.

Employees of McGladrey are easy to spot. During the months of January through March, in preparation for hibernation, McGladrey employees typically gain between 5 and 65 pounds. However, this phenomenon is limited to the tax professionals, which have lavish catered meals in the office for three months straigt while the audit professionals starve at client offices with no meal reimbursements allowed.

McGladrey is also a microcasm for the problems of American society. The wealth gap is clearly seen in McGladrey, with partners (who sold their equity in the firm to H&R Block in the late 90s) driving Mercedes and staffers riding their new Dyno freestyle BMX's in January. In addition, McGladrey partners have new Toshiba microlaptops, with staffers performing audit work on suitcase laptops that were rejected from the local museums.
Mike wished he was paid the market salary, but he works at McGladrey. So he'll have to wait until next year for a decent raise.

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.

n. A screenshot fabricated by a company to misrepresent the graphics of a game; a combination of the words bullshit and screenshot.

Originated from Penny Arcade, a popular gaming webcomic.
-Have you seen Madden 2006 for the Xbox 360? The graphics are gonna be awesome!
-Dude, the Madden 2006 images they showed at E3 were bullshots. It doesn't look nearly as good as they said.
