partathering 

A celebration of some sort, that is not large enough to be a party, but too big to be a gathering. The definition is quite loose though, and if you do use it, it is more than likely that you will just spend hours arguing weather or not the celebration actually is a partathering or not.
"This is a great partathering."

"No! This is a party, not a partathering!"

"Yes, this is too big to be a gathering, it must be a partathering."

"Wooo! Partathering at Sam's house!"

One of the best events that can be thrown by Sixth Form Students, especially those Middle-Class students who live in relatively quiet suburbs with old neighbours.

Not large enough to be a party (40+), but not small enough to be called a gathering (-10), a partathering usually has the following things:

*cool people
*excessive amounts of alcohol
*binge drinking
*cool host(s)
*drinking games - mainly King Cup and Spin the Bottle
*pulling but not often clunge fun
*someone going "GUYS. KEEP IT DOWN. THIS ISNT A PARTY"
#1: Are you going to Petey and Matt's Partathering?
#2: Are you freaking kidding me, those guys are amazing! Of course I am! Although you know, I hear they're gay together...
#1: That's cool man. We all go gay in spin the bottle :)

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.
