Pokemon paranoia 

That moment your boyfriend /partner takes a minute too long to take your photo.
"Done yet?"
"Nah this lighting's really shit. Let me try something with the settings"
"...okay, how about now?"
"I think the camera app just crashed, gimme a sec"
"If this is another Vaporeon asshole...."

--Pokemon paranoia

Pokemon paranoia 

The feeling that somehow, at all times, you are being watched and stalked by Pokemon. There is no escape now. No escape from them. I feel them behind me. Above me... Watching... Waiting... Till finally, I lose concentration and they have a chance to get me. They're coming for me. Coming for me.. AAAAAGH OH GOD THEY'RE HERE

OH GOD PLEASE HELP

OH GO- AAAAAAARGH

*gurgle gurgle*

We're coming for you next.
Pokemon paranoia... The scourge of mankind.

Pokèmon Paranoia 

When you stare at your phone while walking to ensure you don't miss any PokèStops
Joe: Stop putting your phone to your face
Joey: But I have to catch them all
Joe: It's bad for your eyes
Joey: I AM NOT MISSING ANY POKESTOPS
Joe: *thinks inside in his head* Someone had Pokèmon Paranoia
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.
I was folding my clothes and a huge hair spider fell out onto my hand
