north charleston 

Where all the dregs of Charleston get shoved up off the peninsula into. A haven for the lower-lower-middle class and lower class, complete with all the strip-mall trappings of Suburban Hell and the redneck charm of Small-Town America.

Disproportionate number of vagabonds, drifters, and armed criminals, with the balance of the population Walmart-People.
Hilariously, highfalutin Charlestonians must venture into sleazy North Charleston for their bigbox retail procurement. Surely they feel unclean afterwards.

A nice place to live post WW2, although spiraled as our Navy Shipyard closed down in 1996. A very up and coming area, and home to the best neighborhood in South Carolina; Park Circle.

North Central, Charleston 

North Central, Charleston is a neighborhood on the Charleston Peninsula of artist, writers, and musicians adjacent to the equally hip sections of Wagener Terrace and Hampton Park. Creatives and trendsetters spill from fashionable sidewalk cafe’s and pubs that surround Upper King, Morrison Drive, and Rutledge Ave, while an eclectic dining scene features dive bars, artisan coffee houses, bbq restaurants and smart gastropubs. Historically settled by French Huguenots, the landscape is now defined by Victorian, early 20th century bungalows and vernacular architecture. Here too is the site of the famed Palace Auditorium where Elvis Presley and The Allman Brothers Band once performed. The neighborhood is also the terminus of the future low line greenway that will traverse the Charleston Peninsula. North Central is a desirable home for all walks of life; forever singles, diverse families and a mix of ethnic backgrounds harmoniously exist here.
Girl: What is North Central, Charleston neighborhood like?

North Central Guy: Think Daniel Island....then think the opposite.

North Central, Downtown Charleston 

North Central, Downtown Charleston is a neighborhood of artist, writers, and musicians adjacent to the equally hip neighborhoods of Wagener Terrace and Hampton Park. Creatives and trendsetters fill the fashionable cafe’s and pubs within the environs of Upper King, Morrison Drive, and Rutledge Ave, while an eclectic dining scene features everything from speakeasy styled restaurants, breweries and dive bars to artisan coffee houses and gastropubs. Art supply stores and galleries mix with shops selling authentic french pastries in sidewalk al fresco settings. The landscape is defined by early 20th century bungalows and vernacular architecture. Here too is the site of the famed Palace Auditorium where Elvis Presley and The Allman Brothers Band once performed. This area first settled by French Huguenots who escaped religious persecution is the terminus of the future "Low Line" greenway. The familial and ethnic diversity of this section makes it a desirable home for all walks of life. Forever singles, young marrieds, progressive middle agers and retired long time residents share this inclusive enclave. Also, Bill Murray owns several bars in the area...which is nice.
Girl: So Saturday is my bachelorette party, should we come to North Central, Downtown Charleston after the ceremony at my Mega Church?

Guy: Heres what you do....first keep your sorostitutes away from Upper King, then you and your husband settle down on Daniel Island (or Mt. Pleasant)......byeeeeeeeee.

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."
