Unrequitant

The feeling of discomfort and awkwardness when someone is attracted to you but you don’t reciprocate those feelings.

These feelings can arise for a number of reasons:
- Empathy and Guilt: You might feel for the other person, knowing that rejection can hurt. There's a level of guilt involved in not being able to return someone's affection, even if it's beyond your control.
- Unwanted Attention: The awareness that someone is observing or thinking about you in a romantic or physical way, especially when you don’t feel the same, can make you feel uncomfortable.
- Fear of Confrontation: The possibility of having to confront the situation and potentially hurt someone's feelings can be daunting.
- Dread: The possibility that they will try to interact with you and you will politely go along with it as you don't want to hurt their feelings.
She was a real beauty and eventually learned to cope with feeling unrequitant when she got unwanted attention from men.
He was anxious approaching her because he did not want to make her unrequitant.

girl grip 

The ability girls and women have developed to hold several items at once in one hand. The skill has been developed due to the lack of pockets in women's clothing.
I thought she'd need multiple trips to carry her phone, keys, wallet, and Starbucks to her car since she needed the other hand to open the door, but she used her impressive girl grip to carry everything in one hand.

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!"
