Whitehaven
Whitehaven is a small town on coast in the North West of England, in the county of Cumbria. It has a vast (often marinal) history, expecially in rum smuggling, coal mining, and is famous as the last place in England to be invaded. Every four years, the town holds a Maritime Festival that attracts many tourists to the town for the various festival attractions.
The square layout of Whitehaven has led many historians to believe it to have been the inspiration for the layout of New York City. Also, George Washington's grandmother is reputed to be buried in the centre church of the town.

Whitehaven
Where the jam is eaten in quantities so high and with such ferocity that Hartley’s, Bonne Maman and Wilkin & Sons year on year report the highest quantity of jam eaten per person per square mile than anywhere else on earth.
The IJSO (international jam standards organisation) created a new metric unit of measurement called the Whitehaven. Much like Farads, a 1 Whitehaven is an enormous value. It is used to rank jam per person per square mile. Other towns are usually measured in tiny fractions of a whitehaven such as micro or pico whitehavens and have the measure pW or mW.
Jam factories worldwide have a production per year that equates to 1 (one) GigaWhitehaven.
Any excess jam in is shipped to Whitehaven where the good townspeople ramp up consumption ans not to let any go to waste. Afterwards a new measure is taken for the coming year.
There means there is always exactly as much jam across existing reserves and planned production to keep Whitehaven going for exactly one year financial year.

Fleg
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.

Skeef
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."
