Volapukaĵo 

English:
Volapukaĵo is an Esperanto word meaning nonsense/gibberish. It derives from Volapük, which was a language with similar intent to Esperanto, but Volapük died out whilst Esperanto became successful. Volapukaĵo has the same use as the English word Volapük, which is used when someone speaks nonsense, example: Quit speaking Volapük dude, I don't understand what you are saying. Many languages use this term for Volapük, and Esperanto often jokes about their old rival.
The mirror translation of Volapukaĵo to English is Volapük thing. The ĵ is pronounced like s in treasure.

Esperanto:
Volapukaĵo estas Esperanta vorto signifo sensencaĵo / stultaĵoj. Ĝi derivas de Volapuko, kiu estis lingvo kun similaj intencoj al Esperanto, sed Volapuko mortis dum Esperanto fariĝis sukcesa. Volapukaĵo havas la saman uzon kiel la angla vorto Volapuko, kiu estas uzita kiam iu parolas sensencaĵon, ekzemple: Ĉesu paroli Volapuko dude, mi ne komprenas kion vi diras. Multaj lingvoj uzas tiun terminon por Volapuko kaj Esperanto ofte ŝercas pri iliaj malnovaj rivalo.
English: Wow, shut up and stop speaking Volapük! or; That's Volapük to my ears.

Esperanto: Vi parolas Volapukaĵo! (Translation: you are speaking nonsense/gibberish.)

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!"
