Silver Alert 

A verbal warning shouted at onlookers when an old person's story has begun to wander off. Similar to an Amber Alert, but different.
Grandpa: "Bears? You want to hear a story about bears? So I was driving out on route 6, just past the old red barn, which used to be green before they painted it yellow, which i knew because i used to pick raspberries in the field behind the barn, which used to be a corn field after it was a civil war battlefield, blah, blah, blah..."

Jason: "Silver Alert!! He's lost the point again. Quick, everyone look around and try to find it!!"

Grandpa: "and coming back to my original point, I choked a bear to death with my bare hands."

SILVER Alert 

The goal of a SILVER Alert is to instantly galvanize the entire community to assist in the search for and the safe recovery of a senior citizen who has become missing often due to Altimeters.
Last week Mabel was found standing in front of her former home but thankfully she was recovered quickly due to the enormous success of the SILVER alert.

girl grip 

The ability girls and women have developed to hold several items at once in one hand. The skill has been developed due to the lack of pockets in women's clothing.
I thought she'd need multiple trips to carry her phone, keys, wallet, and Starbucks to her car since she needed the other hand to open the door, but she used her impressive girl grip to carry everything in one hand.

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."
