Ungovernable

Refusing coercive control, domination, or unjust authority; maintaining one's autonomy, conscience, and dignity in the face of systems that demand conformity at the expense of human flourishing.
Existing beyond institutions that rely on fear, punishment, or forced compliance; choosing relationships grounded in consent, mutual accountability, and collective care instead of domination.
A state in which a person or community cannot be fully controlled because they have reclaimed their agency, critical awareness, and capacity for self-determination.

In movements for psych liberation and neurodiversity, ungovernable does not mean incapable of cooperation or unwilling to participate in community. Rather, it means refusing to surrender one's humanity to systems that pathologize difference, punish authentic expression, or require self-abandonment to belong.

To be ungovernable is not to reject responsibility—it is to reject domination. It is the practice of organizing life around consent, interdependence, justice, and the inherent dignity of every person's mind, body, and consciousness.
Being ungovernable is the hottest thing you can BE in 2026 to support the revolution!

ungornable

It means ungovernable.

It's a combination of English and slang Filipino; the prefix and suffix "un-" and " -able" + the slang word "gorn" which translates to govern with added nuance of those who profess to favor freedom, yet depreciate agitation; men who want crops without plowing up the ground. They want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its many waters. This struggle may be a moral one; or it may be a physical one; or it may be both moral and physical; but it must be a struggle. Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did and it never will.
Victor will definitely be in tears when he hears the news that Fremantle is ungornable.

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."
