Something unique and short-lived.
Etymology: The word comes from the Steagles team in the National Football League, which played for one season during World War Two.
In 1943, the Philadelphia Eagles and the Pittsburgh Steelers combined teams due because of an NFL contraction to eight teams caused by a lack of quality players due to armed services obligations. The consolidated team was officially called the Philadelphia-Pittsburgh Eagles-Steelers, but fans and sportswriters eschewed the awkward, run-on official name and dubbed the new fused team "The Steagles".
The Steagles played four games at Philadelphia's Shibe Park and two games at Pittsburgh's Forbes Field, going 5-4-1, the first winning record in the history of pro football in Philadelphia. In 1944, the Eagles went back to being their own team, while the Steelers merged with the Chicago Cardinals (converting back to singular status in 1945).
Thus, a "Steagle" is a one-year phenomenon, a unique, exciting event. It also symolizes something less than ideal that seemingly has become better through its idealization over time.

"Irvin Faust's novel 'The Steagle' (NY: Random House, 1966) is about an alienated English literature professor, a Walter Mitty-type who daydreams about war, old movies and professional sports. 'The Steagle,' which was made into an unsuccessful 1971 movie starring the nebbish Richard Benjamin, is about someone stuck in an idealized past."

Get the Friend Stealer mug.When a fictional character enters an officially recognized relationship with your waifu, thus making her unavailable, he (or she) becomes a waifu stealer. Usually, the character is described by fans as a horrible, mean person or even a womanizer, even if the character hasn't shown any signs of being that way.
The term first came to real prominence in the brony community after the first My Little Pony movie was released. In it, Flash Sentry, an incidental character horns in on Twilight Sparkle, a main character, thus pissing off any of the bronies who called her waifu.
Sometimes also referred to as "waifu thief".
