hide the decline 

Climate "scientists" deliberately hid the sharp post-1960 decline in temperature proxy data and laughed about "Mike's Nature trick" among themselves.

It's one of many smoking guns extracted from the CRU hack. (Note that it may actually have been a leak and not a hack.)
The phrase itself is now something of a joke, as in "Can't hide the decline, Obama's poll numbers drop again."

Gwen offers to help him but he declines the first 

Ben/Gwen shipper.
the Ben/Gwen shipper is based on the characters Ben Tennyson and Gwen Tennyson cousins from the hit cartoon series Ben 10. yes i did say "cousins", though some might see it as incest and disgustingly disturbing i don't and the shipper makes perfect sense. at the beginning of the show, the cousins find out that they are going to be on vacation together with grandpa max for 3 whole months. at first that was pure hell for both but as the show progressed bringing out more seasons, the hate turned into a strong bond of friendship and i say love. they still bicker with one another and call each other "doufous" and "dweeb" they still care for each other stronly. you don't have to agree. apparently cousins understand each other more than possibly best friends would. (and no i don't have a crush on a cousin).
in the episode My Big Fat Alien Wedding, when Ben's told he has to dance and complains that he can't, Gwen offers to help him but he declines the first. later in the RV, when Ben is practicing to dance, Gwen catches him and offeres to help. he declines again but when Gwen explains to him that she can help him not to look like a dofous, he agrees. if you closly, you can see that both cousins are enjoying the moment until it's ruined by grandpa Max.

in the tv movie Ben 10: Secret of the Omnitrix, when Gwen is captured and pressumanbly dead Ben is heart broken, shattered and devistated. he tries to open the hatch where she disappeared but it wont open. later on towards the end of the movie, when we see two planes crash, Ben sees that Gwen is alive because it looks like he has a look of love on his face. he's in tears and runs to her hugging her lovingly and she hugs him back also lovingly.

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."
