Inter-membral
I created the word ‘inter-membral’ as a way to break through the limiting boundaries of colonialist vocabulary. A conversation about “the refugee problem” set in the context of a country that delivers weaponry to aggressors to maintain exploitation that is beneficial to them, is an example of a conversation that can’t be held in a vacuum, but that needs to be discussed “intermembrally”.
“Precisely because they too are specimens of modern thought, the available critical tools cannot support an ethico-political intervention capable of undermining cultural difference’s capacity to produce an unbridgeable ethical divide.”- Denise Fereira da Silva
As the language these tools speak is created and pursued in and for a context of oppression, it is impossible to break out of them without changing our vocabulary.
And so I created a word that can signify that in a text or in an argument I am encompassing many truths and existants. As Da Silva says we; ´could image The World as a Plenum, an infinite composition in which each existant’s singularity is contingent upon its becoming one possible expression of all the other existants, with which it is entangled beyond space and time.´
If we can embody the belief that we are indeed connected to and entangled with all, we can start taking responsibility in our actions.

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.

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."
