Get the Norville mug.
Norvilled
In the area of Human Resources, if you have an outgoing employee who is either loved
and/or cared for a great deal, or they are unbearable, and you have someone who is not quite available yet who fits the bill perfectly, you hire an employee temporarily not telling them that their position is temporary, wherein they bear the brunt of disdain and bad feelings of friends, fans, or fellow employees and is fired on some trumped up charge to get the final or “permanent” projected employee.

This is named after the famous dynamic between beloved morning anchor Jane Pauley leaving her post on the Today show, replaced with the hapless pawn Deborah Norville, who took all the slings, arrows, hatred and derision from the public, forcing her OUT of the position, only to be replaced by Katie Couric waiting in the wings. Have YOU ever been “Norvilled”?
Norvelled
One who can be easily corupted as a Commissioner of his Fantasy Football league.
One that takes bribs for favors

Thad said "Okay Chris I will take our Norvelled offer and I will use my powers as Commissioner to approve that trade"

Nouville
They say you’re lucky when you meet a Nouville in your life. He’s an incredibly interesting man with charisma and intellect, even if he occasionally pretends he doesn’t understand. His mysterious nature always brings good things with him, which is why he takes his freedom to exploit his full potential.
The most important thing in his life is his family and friends, whom he will always take care of, which is why his success in life is guaranteed

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.

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."
