shithouse mouse

An incomprehensibly crazy person.

NB: Not used to describe a spell of psychotic behavior. A shithouse mouse is permanently insane.
Used as a comparative standard, usually vis-a-vis actual insanity.

The term originated as a more mellifluous alternative to the term shithouse rat; e.g., "as crazy as a shithouse rat."

Did you see Shavonne flip out and claw the skin off Joey Bag's arm last night? I'm glad you dumped that psycho, she's crazier than a shithouse mouse!

I saw the born-again Christians picketing at the train station again yesterday, every one of them crazier'na shithouse mouse.

Shithouse mouse

A lowly rodent who, out of desperation, has learned to live alongside man by occupying one of our less-than-ideal structures, the outhouse.

Eternally mocked by the rest of the animal kingdom for it's choice of habitat, it passes through life barely noticed by man except in this phrase: "Poorer than a shithouse mouse"

Clearly indicating that the individual described does not even possess the meager funds required to reside in an outhouse.

After being denied $20 from the ATM machine for lack of funds: "Damnit, I'm poorer than a shithouse mouse"

An exclamation of frustration

I guess my computer has decided to stop having a "turn off" option. Well, shithouse mouse, I'll just have to let the battery run down.

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
