Pancake-waffling 

Pancake-waffling: the act of taking what someone said and attributing something entirely disconnected to it.

Pancake-waffled: having been the recipient of someone's pancake-waffling.
It is most often used in internet comments. The phrase comes from a famous tweet where a user described the issue by way of example: "Twitter is the only place where well articulated sentences still get misinterpreted. You can say 'I like pancakes' and somebody will say 'So you hate waffles?' No bitch. Dats a whole new sentence. Wtf is you talking about."
"Just ignore him, we all heard what you said. He's just pancake-waffling."
"Wow. You just got pancake-waffled in real time."

Waffling the Pancakes

When one person wildly misinterprets a post or cmment, usually on Twitter and TikTok, so that the OP looks bad. This usually occurs when a chronically online teenager tries to accuse the original poster of ableism, homophobia, racism and other forms of bigotry when the original post didn't intend to. Said responses are referred to as "waffled pancakes".

The phrase is in reference to a Twitter user who described the phenomenon with an analogy using pancakes and waffles. People tend to reply to waffled pancakes and screenshots of waffled pancakes with a screenshot of said tweet. It reads as follows:

"Twitter is the only place where well articulated sentences still get misinterpreted.

You can say 'I like pancakes' and somebody will say 'So you hate waffles?'

No bitch. Dats a whole new sentence. Wtf is you talking about."

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.

n. A screenshot fabricated by a company to misrepresent the graphics of a game; a combination of the words bullshit and screenshot.

Originated from Penny Arcade, a popular gaming webcomic.
-Have you seen Madden 2006 for the Xbox 360? The graphics are gonna be awesome!
-Dude, the Madden 2006 images they showed at E3 were bullshots. It doesn't look nearly as good as they said.
