The Fredy Effect

The result of being coerced into “1 to 2” alcoholic beverages after a night at work. These 1 or 2 beverages then become an evening/morning of intense intoxication with drug usage. This effect will indefinitely result in multiple “afters” and wanting to die or quit your job the next morning.
I got hit with The Fredy Effect last night. I was 2 hours late to work and I want to die.

The Fred Effect is when somebody in a friend group dyes their hair, and then over the next few weeks, at least 2 other members of the group will also dye their hair, usually the same colour

The 5 Nights at Freddy's Effect 

When a bunch of larger Youtubers rush in to cover a trending topic, ironically blowing up the topic, and making it bigger than it would have ever done on it's own.
The Marina Joyce Kidnapping theory is sometime thought of as an example of "The 5 Nights at Freddy's Effect".

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."
