Son-of-a-glitch

A less crass way of saying "son-of-a-bitch"

(Redstone Ned evades an anvil, blocks off a wall of arrows, shields himself from TNT which causes him to fall, breaks his aforementioned fall with a water bucket, and uses a torch to avoid being suffocated by gravel)

Redstone Ned: Oh, oh, oh, yeah! Is that all you can do? Is that all you got?
Unknown Player: (gets tired of Redstone Ned refusing to die so he types in "/kill RedStoneNed")
Redstone Ned: You son-of-a-glitch....
Unknown Player: (enters in the command, killing Redstone Ned)

John: Hello Nat! For some reason I do not seem to be receiving any of the college's e-mails today.
Nat: Hmm. I can't explain why it's happening, just that our new email listserv is not delivering emails to anyone with first initial "J."

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
