Stravaig 

Old Scottish, Northern English and Irish word.

Means to wander about aimlessly
"Yish, looking at that stravaiging bag head over there."

"How about I stravaig over there and rub my open wound on you?"

"Easy stravaiger, there's no need to get shirty, I was just making a comment on the aimlessness your existence."

"Tis true I suppose. Any chance of some money?"

Stravaing 

To use Strava in order to measure something in order to:

1) Capture data in an effort to feed your analytics addiction
2) Impress/shame other athletes based on on you data
3) Feed your ego (typically has the reverse effect due to your ride data)
4) All of the above
- It was too cold outside to ride my bike, but since I'm addicted to data collection and analytics, I considered Stravaing my indoor ride to ensure I had a complete training record.

- A high profile cyclist had recently started following me on Strava, so I felt compelled to start Stravaing my indoor rides to prove I am a worthy cyclist.

- Due to the "ride data or it didn't happen" principle, Stravaing your indoor rides is mandatory.

Stravaitus 

A condition whereby an athlete becomes obsessed with only posting activities on fitness app Strava of a 'fast' pace, even if this could lead to overtraining, illness, or forced time off. If the activity is slower than hoped for, it is often labeled as 'endurance', 'easy' (when it clearly was not), or 'with xxxx' (name of 'slow' friend). Cures: Take a break, post all activities as private.

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."
