Mendoza Line

The point at which a woman's craziness outweighs her level of beauty.

For a woman to be considered "below the Mendoza Line," she must be sufficiently crazy that it doesn't matter how beautiful she is; you would still not sleep with her.

Based on the baseball term of the same name, referring to the point at which a player's poor batting average cannot be justified despite his defensive abilities.

George- "Dude, Suzy's all over you tonight. Why are you ignoring her?"

Brett- "Trust me man, she's way below the Mendoza Line. Her last boyfriend had to change his social security number."

George- "...mind if I go for it?"

The absolute minimum effort or accomplishment required to be considered sufficient. (Named after Minnie Mendoza or Mario Mendoza, depending on whom you ask -- two major-league baseball players with lifetime averages around .200.)

"I was going to buy that old Suburban, then I find out it gets 10 mpg, and I'm like, 'No, that's below the Mendoza Line.'"

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.

"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!"

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."
