Urbandoctrination 

Using Urbandictionary.com as a means to push a political, religious, philosophical, etc. ideal by either making derogatory terms against groups that disagree with your viewpoint or taking already-existing terminology and explaining it through a biased point of view.
Someone who does this is called an Urbandoctrinator.
Urbandoctrination is a serious issue on this website right now. While people are entitled to their opinions, Urbandictionary is a horrible website to exercise them, on the account that there is no comment system on which to discuss the terms and their definitions with the exception of a bare-bones like/dislike system that, again, fails in the presence of a popular opinion. This leads to a phenomenon where you can post an opinionated definition with very little means to challenge or argue its validity. It's a downward spiral that does very little but cause those with extreme opinions to double down. Not to mention that it just adds to the enormous issue of scaring people who aren't themselves invested in the topic away from having a civil discussion. Again, there's nothing wrong with having opinions, but there are far better platforms to voice them. And if you have time to write a 1000+ word definition on a topic you disagree with, you probably have time to do more productive things with your life.

"Let's see what the word of the day is today. Oh, it's just another thinly veiled half-assed jab at a subject that's been beaten to death already. Urbandoctrinators are killing this site."

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.
