North Merrick 

North Merrick is a small hamlet in the Town of Hempstead on the south shore of Long Island, New York. It borders East Meadow, Uniondale, Freeport, North Bellmore, and Bellmore. South of North Merrick is another hamlet Merrick, but most refer it to South Merrick. Other areas of Merrick are Central Merrick and Merrick Woods. People who live in North Merrick are northies and most are in the middle class. Even if most are in the middle class there are areas that are nicer than others.

Like most of Long Island it’s filled with Italians and the Irish. And most are Christian, whereas most southies are jewish.

There are 3 elementary schools, Fayette, Old Mill, and Camp Ave. All of the students of the schools of Merrick and North Merrick join as 1 grade in middle school, Merrick Avenue Middle School (MAMS). In high school students who live in North Merrick or Central Merrick go to Calhoun and students who live in South Merrick go to Kennedy with students who live in South Bellmore.

Everyone loves to party and the most infamous place to do it is at b-side, an old middle school that was shut down b/c of a decrease in the amount of students. At day it is used by the BMCH District, but at night it is where everyone likes to party. And not just anyone can walk into the secret party place in the woods, you have to know someone or be invited and most of these people go to Calhoun.

Person #2: Yeah it’s filled with italians and irish people.

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."

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.
