Non-Reciprocating Tool

a completely self-absorbed, unaware "friend" (READ: douche) that you do things for *all the time* that NEVER returns the favor, even in times of crisis, always making the excuse that they're working or busy or just *can't* for whatever reason--always an excuse--ANY time you ask them, no matter what; someone who never returns the many favors you've done for them.

"My Dad just died and I can't find sittage for the funeral tomorrow. Since I've watched your kids for free for the past two days, do you think you can sit mine for a few hours while I go to my Dad's memorial service?"

Non-Reciprocating Tool: "Tomorrow? Oh, no way. Sorry. Gotta work online and stuff. You know. Busy and all. Can't. Maybe next time."

Fleg

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!"
