Taiko no Tatsujin

A rhythm game made for children.
However, apparently adults took that statement as a complete lie or simply a bullshit claim (including the kids in the japanese arcades playing this game), and now both compete for the crown of who is better at reading a spam of notes and/or who could destroy the Arcade's taiko drum faster.
some guy: "hey you ever played taiko no tatsujin?" (such can be considered any version of taiko, including osu!taiko because of its different style of charting)

a rhythm game player: "yes"

some guy: "can you play the drums???"

a rhythm game player: "no you squashed package"

Taiko no Tatsujin

Taiko no Tatsujin (which means Drum Master btw) is a rhythm game based on Japanese drums called Taiko. It was released in 2004 and it was made by Namco. The game can be seen in numerous arcad es and in digital products. To some people, the game can be seen as a kid-friendly game, however, it has some dark songs and audio hidden in the code. For example, Joubutsu 2000 has some questionable lyrics and dark deep meaning. Also, the asian community has always been the gods of all of Taiko no Tatsujin since it’s release, so if you see a wild asian playing Taiko no Tatsujin, they might be the sweats of this game.
*enters into an arcade*
*sees an Asian person be a god at Taiko no Tatsujin*
*proceeds to walk away*
*walks back because of curiosity*
Person: Ur pretty good, how are u so good?
Asian person: I’ve been playing for 8 hours and I can’t feel my hands
*sees beat up hands*
Person: 😖
*walks away in disgust and fear with lots of regret*

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.

n. A screenshot fabricated by a company to misrepresent the graphics of a game; a combination of the words bullshit and screenshot.

Originated from Penny Arcade, a popular gaming webcomic.
-Have you seen Madden 2006 for the Xbox 360? The graphics are gonna be awesome!
-Dude, the Madden 2006 images they showed at E3 were bullshots. It doesn't look nearly as good as they said.
