Salman Rushdie

Indian-born Author of the Satanic Verses. Currently on the run from a fatwah, or death decree, issued in 1989 by the Ayatollah Khomeini, after alegations that the book blasphemes against Islam. His cause is championed by the likes of Bono from U2.

Salman Rushdie gave an interview with Rolling Stone a couple of years ago. I don't know what happened to him since. I think we would've heard if the goons had caught up with him.

Salmon Rushdie

Da infamous India-born author whose literary works were of such "fishy" content dat it "spawned" a firestorm of controversy --- many of his fellow Muslims weren't overly thrilled with his less-than-pious viewpoints.

Salmon Rushdie surely got himself into a major "kettle of fish" when he penned his infamous "Satanic Verses" book --- thanks to a lot of irate supporters of Islam, he felt like he was "up to his gills" in trouble.

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.
