Negaunee

A small-ass town in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. It is home of the Miners, drunks, yoopers, Finlanders, snobs, poor, and just folks. Iron street has more bars and antique shops than anyone would like to admit. There is nothing to do except watch sports and get wasted. If you don't like either of those things, tough shit.

Person 1: Hey man, what do you wanna do today?
Person 2: Nothing. Negaunee is boring as hell.

Negaunee Briefcase

A Negaunee briefcase is a term used to describe a 24 pack case of cheap beer such as Labatt Blue. In the rough-and-tumble mining towns of Michigan's Upper Peninsula, people overconsume cheap beer on a daily basis. A Negaunee briefcase is perfect for your next business meeting in Upper Michigan. First coined by geographers at NMU in 2008.

The three of us Yoopers pooled our money and bought a Negaunee briefcase to drink while sitting on the shore of Lake Superior. At 24 cans, we each have 8 cans to consume in the next couple of hours. If we wanted to drink more, we would've bought the 30-pack of Labatt Blue, occasionally referred to as an Ishpeming briefcase.

Negaunee High School

The Upper Peninsula of Michigan's largest contributor to underage pregnancies. Attend a party anywhere in Marquette county and you can spot a Negaunee alumni when they will be talking the most shit the entire night. This will always be immediately followed by said person getting their ass stomped in as a result of being the pinnacle of hatred for all other surrounding U.P. areas.

Home of the miners. Also home to many seemingly well, yet under-educated individuals as a result of their school system not forcing their students to take the M.E.A.P.'s like most other area high schools, therein resulting in good M.E.A.P. scores.

Negaunee High School girls will be covered in eyeliner and spray tans and the boys will be wearing 59/Fifty hats and polo shirts. Don't be fooled, they cannot drink more than you.

Jake: What's the difference between a chick from Negaunee High School and a raccoon digging in someones trash?
Erick: There's a difference?

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."

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.

I was folding my clothes and a huge hair spider fell out onto my hand
