Excerpt from steampoweredgiraffe.com -

"Once called the 8th 1/2 Wonder of the World, Colonel Walter's Steam Powered Robots are a technological marvel that has astounded the world for generations!

Created in 1896 by Colonel P. A. Walter I, these robots still run off their original steam powered engines and artificial intelligence. But you'll find no generic boilers or clockwork brains in these robots! How their steam-driven power supplies function is a secret that the Walter family holds close, and those who have tried have ultimately met disastrous outcomes.

Today the robots are all refurbished with better plating, rubber buffers, and hydraulic tubing. New parts have replaced any old ones that have worn and torn over the centuries, but the robots all retain their original chassis, and are vintage relics of unmatched engineering.

Of all the Walter robots the most popular are the ones who currently perform in the band Steam Powered Giraffe, whose namesake comes from Walter's first robot, a giant mechanical giraffe."

Their latest album is called The 2cent Show and is available for purchase on their website. (Give it a trial listen on the main page! free!)
"Say, what is that angelic metallic sound?"

"Its 'The Suspender Man' by Steam Powered Giraffe!"

"What a crazy name, but heck, I'll give em' a try!"

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."
