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.

stravastism 

Stravastism - When a person introduces some new exciting element to his life, then loses that element and is upset at losing said element, but the person would still be happy if the element had never been introduced to him/her.
George: I went on holiday for the first time ever, now I'm back home and it's making me feel really stravastic.

Bill: Yeah, stravastism will do that you

Shravanitus 

A disease that causes you to be so lazy, that people near you will think you're stoned. Some symptons include leaving trash around your room, going to sleep before 11:00 PM, trying to rap without rhyming, failing classes, playing super smash brothers melee, and being too lazy to close the shower curtain, resulting in a soaked bathroom floor.

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.
