Poverty franchise 

It is when a sports franchise team performs poorly on a habitual basis. They rack up losing records, wasting young talent and draft picks. It is also a monetary matter.

Poverty franchise 

A scumbag team full of scumbag fans and players who only really care when in contention. A franchise who used to have glory but clearly has been out of the glory days for so long that half of their “fans” who cheer for their team three nights a year have no memory of the glory days because they’ve sucked for so long.
The New York Yankees are such a poverty franchise dude. It’s hilarious.

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!"
