Richmond, Virginia. Richmond served as the capital of the Confederate States of America, and many important American Civil War landmarks remain in the city today, including the Virginia State Capitol and the White House of the Confederacy. Area’s of the city include: The Fan District, West End, Northside, Southside, East End, Manchester, ect. Trade grew rapidly in Richmond, primarily in the agriculture sector, but also in the slave trade. Slaves were imported to Richmond's Manchester docks from Africa, and were bought and sold at the same market. There are plenty of beautiful landmarks as well as tourist sights to see in Richmond. Although Richmond has had problems with crime over many years, and has ranked above the national average for many years, it is slowly improving and falling down in the ranks. Richmond held the #4 title in 2006 for most violent cities of America with populations of 100,000 - 250,000. Richmond is also a minority majority city. over 50% of the city demographics are African American.

Richmond, virginia

Richmond, Virginia, is a hopping place. It isn't a huge city, but being the capital of VA it's got a fair amount of people in it. There are many great places to hang- Sweet Frog, Can Can, World of Mirth, some awesome places. It is generally a nice place to be, but there are some sketchy areas that you should avoid, such as the rougher places in Carrytown. All in all, Richmond is a nice place to be, and a visit to Shortpump shopping center is essential for that outdoor mall experience we all love.

Let's go to Richmond, Virginia!
Yo dude, let's do it. I could use a good walk and some bitchin fro-yo from Sweet Frog. Let's hit it up!

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!"

Skeef

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
