Softcorian 

A term (sometimes considered derogatory) that describes a gamer that only plays casual games, or many other games on the easiest setting and think that they are hardcore or "real" gamers. They often think if a game is too hard, it's a bad game, but they really just lack the skill to play it.

Many Softcorians put down a good game because it does not baby you, since they play games like Madden and Halo. Many Softcorians put down the games Devil May Cry 3 and Ninja Gaiden.
Gamer: Hey man, want to play Virtua Fighter 4?

Softcorian: Dude, I hate that game, it sucks! Let's play Mortal Kombat, that's a game for REAL gamers.

Gamer: Softcorian moron...

softcoding 

You're generally referring to adding repeated code and yes, this a good thing, normally. However, there is an issue with the attitude around this. Every situation mandates this kind of code structure. This is especially true of bigger games made by older developers. We should avoid adding certain QOL features simply because in a "improperly" coded game it isn't necessary.
Person 1: Y'all need to stop with this softcoding stuff.
Person 2: On the contrary, I believe that "softcoding" can be an extremely beneficial practice for game development. The idea behind softcoding is to make code more modular, reusable, and efficient, which can save time and resources in the long run. First, it is important to understand that there are different types of game projects, and each one has its own set of requirements and constraints. For larger and more complex games, "softcoding" can be especially useful in terms of organization and maintainability. It allows for better code structure and enables developers to work more efficiently, which is crucial for big projects.

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."

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.
