Sydenham school 

The uniform rules are mad. People be out here thinking they can make the people of SE London dress like Catholic school girls. Beef happens everyday and the school is still chatting about being "a world class place of education". Any kind of public display of happiness or community is forbidden. God help anyone who sings happy birthday in the lunch hall or a Christmas song on the last day of school. Really makes you question the point of your education. The year 7s get braver every year, year 8s are irrelivant, year 9s are jarring, year 10s are irrelivant, year 11s all want to die. If you go there you will be miserable. But never forget the wise words repeated in every single assembly, "time flies". Let's fecking hope so. (And if you go past it on the bus then yes, the L on SCHOOL is wonkey).

Sydenham School 

"World Class School" in South London
With dead food.
Ignorant teachers.
Random memers.

Some history teachers would spend half the class making jokes directed at the students. One student in my class never took the jokes seriously or made a comeback. Eventually, the teacher called her up and lectured her about standing up for herself. The teacher ended her rant with "You've gotta be a woman. You gotta be like me."
The girl replied with: "Well which one? Do you want me to be a woman or do you want me to be like you?"

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.
