Sit-down comedy 

Exactly the same style of comedy as "Stand-up comedy" except that you are sitting down while you are doing it.
(i.e. at a table, sitting at the bar, in a car, bus stop, office, etc.)
On a long cross-country road trip, I entertained Tina-Louise with hours of my sit down comedy.

I killed at the dinner table last night, it was pure sit-down comedy.

Sit-Down Comedian 

A term coined by Hanley to characterize her mother Amy; the worlds first sit down comedian. Essentially, a sit down comedian is a true talent, pound for pound, whose beauty, witticisms and jocularity outweighs their body mass.

Comedy can be compared to that of bacteria. Its misuse and overuse leads to a significant loss in its effectiveness. A Newer, stronger strain must evolve over time in order for it to live on. For that reason, it’s inevitable a mutation of some kind will arise for it to become more resilient. In this case the ‘supersatire’ was sit down. Which proved to be highly infectious. :P
The idea was born when Amy was faced with the challenge of performing whilst standing. The performer saw no choice but to replace the comical aspect of stand up with sit down comic theatre, Putting a new happy fat face on comedy.
"I hear that sit-down comedian Amy is Notorious for eating doughnuts while performing on stage"

Sit-Down Comedian 

1. The literal meaning of a comedian sitting down as opposed to standing up when making jokes.
2. Quite the opposite to the former, and not widely used, yet is important: somebody who is SO bad at making jokes that you just want to tell them to sit down and stop.
1. Person A: I wanna be a sit-down comedian one day.

Person B: What's that?

Person A: Literally just sitting down and being a comedian.

2. Person A: I wanna be a stand-up comedian one day.

Person B: Ha! With your dead jokes I think you should be a sit-down comedian!

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!"
