Widow's Peak 

A widow's peak is the hairline making a V shaped point in the upper part of forehead. In extreme cases, it may go down to the upper center of the forehead - that's where it will look like a stereotypical Widows Peak where we see in Dracula and such. Some widow's peaks are less pronounced and more U-shaped, which show more only when a guy balds.

Most people don't have the stereotypical widow's peak, even though a lot of us do have a subtle one to some extent which mostly shows up in balding (for a man) or if you tie your hair back.
Those with a prominent and very obvious V shaped, widow's peak:

Jude Law, Kourtney Kardashian, Collin Farrel, Leonardo DiCaprio, William Shatner, Danny O’Donoghue (The Script), Jessie J, Wentworth Miller, CM Punk, Timothy Oliphaunt, Daniel Craig, Chris Hemsworth, Marilyn Monroe and Josh Duhamel.

Jason Statham, Bruce Willis, Jason Lee, Jean Reno, Patrick Wilson, Sting, Ryan Reynolds, Jason Isaacs, Joseph Gordon Levitt, Dwayne Johnson and the late Heath Ledger are those with a less prominent and more U-shaped peaks (which are more obvious due to balding).

Widow's Peak 

A hairstyle in which medium length hair is swept backwards from the forehead, leaving a distinctive "v" shape at the front. Although traditionally a male hairstyle, it is more commonly seen upon girls today. Strongly associated with the classical depiction of Dracula and vampires.
Bela Lugosi had a widow's peak, and so does your girlfriend. Coincidence?

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.
