Voter Suppression 

A devious plot in which Republicans try to prevent those who are likely to support the Democratic

party from voting. Usual targets are African Americans, the poor, and the elderly.
Voter Suppression in Alabama works like this; first they require a state issued ID to vote, then they close all the drivers license stations in the 31 counties that have a black majority.

Voter Suppression 

A strategy in which Republicans are trying to prevent people who might oppose them from voting, typically the poor, elderly and minorities. Usually they will claim they are just trying to stop voter fraud even though there is no evidence that that has been a problem
In Texas as part of their Voter Suppression program a concealled carry permit can be used as an ID to vote, but a student ID from one of their state colleges does not count, it's pretty obvious who they're trying to stop from voting.

voter self-suppression 

The failure-to-vote position created by unrelenting exposure to largely unsubstantiated, incorrect election fraud accusations and fever dream, conspiracy theorist lunacy.
I'm a proud 'Merican and I believe that free and fair elections are the foundation of our Republic and the Democratic experiment itself. If our election system is undermined or found corrupt the only logical remedy is voter self-suppression; non-participation as an act of passive defiance will help restore confidence!
(and make victory for non-delusional voters an almost absolute)

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.
I was folding my clothes and a huge hair spider fell out onto my hand
