Matthew McConaughey was getting big in the 90's and then had string of poor role choices. Notably, Sahara. He was thought of as a bad actor with a pretty face and charming accent. Then he was recognized critically for Mud and suddenly his career took off again. He did Wolf of Wall Street and Interstellar, for example, during the McConaissance.

Matthew McConaughey gained popularity for his rom-coms. Even though he loved the roles, he wanted to be rebranded.

Therefore, Matthew took a hiatus from appearing in rom-com films until he was offered a lead role in The Lincoln Lawyer, followed by Killer Joe, Bernie, The Paper Boy, Mud, and Magic Mike.

These movie offers were back-to-back, giving the actor the "rebranding" he was holding out for. Renaissance is defined as "rebirth or revival" allowing Matthew McConaughey's new brand to be known as the mcconaissance.

The ability girls and women have developed to hold several items at once in one hand. The skill has been developed due to the lack of pockets in women's clothing.
I thought she'd need multiple trips to carry her phone, keys, wallet, and Starbucks to her car since she needed the other hand to open the door, but she used her impressive girl grip to carry everything in one hand.

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!"
