Rapidshare

A website that allows the public to upload files for sharing with other people. The main problems with rapidshare are the download ticket system that forces you to wait for 60 seconds before being able to download the file, and the slow upload and download times. Rapidshare offers a membership program that allows, after a fee is paid, for the member to have unlimited simultaneous downloads, be able to bypass the download ticket system, and allows the use of download managers like flashget. Rapidshare is commonly hated throughout the internet and is also known as rapidshit.

RapidShare

The worst file-sharing website to ever exist. It's full of annoying restrictions which are both a pain for the uploader and the downloaders.

Things like download tickets, which make you wait before you download a file; a limit on how much you download before a wait of up to three to five hours is imposed on you. Not to mention that at the slightest sign of a "complaint" (who knows which random asshole complained about a file?) files get deleted.

If you ever find a file you want, be prepared to wait hours to download it and have to solve stupid CAPTCHAs constantly, as well as having the (paid) membership repeatedly pushed on you while you just want to download a damn file.
Please never use RapidShare to share your files. Use a decent alternative (there are many) which won't make file sharing a huge pain in the ass for all.

Everyone knows RapidShare sucks, so why the hell do people still use this greedy website?

No wonder people call it "Rapidshit".

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."
