oh my Arceus

(interjection) An interjection used among Pokémon fanatics to replace "Oh my God".

The reason why Arceus replaces God is simple: Arceus is the Pokémon responsible for the creation of the Sinnoh region, and possibly the whole universe (Pokéverse, if you may) according to myths around the world of Pokémon. His legend dates back to Generation 4 (Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum). Arceus is also called "The Original One".

Arceusism is a polytheistic belief system. According to said myth/religion, Arceus is said to be born from an egg, emerging from a vortex, and then created the Legendaries of time, space, and antimatter: Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina, respectively. When mankind started inhabiting Sinnoh, he created three Pokémon to give humans knowledge, emotions, and willpower.

The term, in real life, is used as jargon among fans, as reversed verisimilitude to the Pokémon universe. It is also used online where "Oh my God" might provoke a number of religious and/or sensitive people.

"I just got the new Pokémon game!"
"Oh my Arceus! Can I see?"

Oh My Arceus

1. A phrase created by Pokéfans to replace Oh My God because they have sold their souls to the Pokés and must worship their lord and master Arceus, who has yet to grace the American nor the Waponese audience as of yet. Arceus is only know of through leet skillz. When the day finally comes that their satanic God comes forth from the Spear Pillar to the hands of fat boys playing their Nintendo DSs, the world will finally burn in the fires of hell.

2. An exclamation said when you fall flat on your fat white ass and have played too much Pokemans. Also cried out when you get asswhipped with a birch rod] for "trading" *cough cough little theives cough cough* Pokémon Cards when you should be learning how to count to thirteen and spell your name. Related to Arse.

1. Oh My Arceus! What in Girantina's Realm is he thinking?

2. "Oh My Arseus! Thwat hwurt! Gwiv mee back my Pokeman cards!"

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.
