West Peabody

Great area to live in. Close to everything: Rts. 1/128/95 a few minutes away. Malls, restaurants and everything else you could possibly want is all close by as well. Commute to Boston is about 20 minutes.

It borders Lynnfield and its property taxes are reasonable. Pretty much, it's the perfect place to live.

Pay no attention to the fool that wrote "Most of the people that live there are rich and snobby and like to flaunt their money". This is not true.

I've talked to many people that have lived there from day one (30 or 40 years) and they are the nicest people.

I grew up in Lynn and worked hard to make a living which allowed me to buy a house in West Peabody. These days, a lot of people buying houses in West Peabody are from Revere, Lynn, East Boston or other areas outside of Peabody.

West Peabody

The part of Peabody that happens to be west of Rt. 1. People who live in West Peabody like to say they live in West Peabody because somehow the "west" is supposed to set them apart from the rest of the city.

To those who live in West Peabody and think you're not like the rest of us, I'd rather live in Gardner Park any day!
West Peabody is supposed to be seperate from Peabody in peoples minds. Sort of like West Roxbury is supposed to be better than Roxbury, except those places have different zip codes.

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.
