Second generation (and maybe last) of hand-held consoles by Sony.

It was a massive step up from its predecessor, the PSP, featuring PS3-like graphics, dual analog controls, OLED screen and digital storage. Some of these features are rumored to be in the upcoming 3ds follow-up, the Nintendo NX, because Nintendo is notorious for being one generation behind the competition in terms of graphics and storage space.

However it was largely ignored by third parties and Sony due to the more popular albeit less powerful and technically inferior Nintendo 3DS.

Physical games for this system are getting harder to find as it is now supported by only a niche division of gamers.
"Are they even making PS Vita games anymore?"

"Nah, its such a shame. It had so much potential."

A handheld that is arguably better than the 3DS but due to corporate laziness, had very little marketing and was dropped very quickly. With almost ps3 level graphics, enough power to run many android games, and ports like Bully, Gta 3, vice city and san andreas, a solid enough game catalog and a great modding community, had so much potential that was wasted due to sony working on the ps4. With some good marketing, a less rushed game catalog and more games, this easily could have surpassed the 3ds. Also if they actually implemented the rear touchpad in most games.

Collects finger prints and oil easier than anything, and is great looking, but impossible to clean the fingerprints off of.
I Love my PS vita, if only sony actually cared about it. If they cared about the PSP more, it definitely would have killed the underpowered underfeatured DS. The same is true for the Vita and 3ds. DAMN YOU SONY AND CORPORATE LAZINESS!!!!!

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."
