Yahoo Toolbar

The Yahoo Toolbar is an Add-On for the Windows Explore or Firefox/Mozilla web browsers. It competes with the Google Toobar. The toolbar is installed on the users web browser, and then gives the user quick access to Yahoo's search engine. you can also customize it with other features. The biggest problem with Yahoo's Toolbar is that it is being bundled into all different types of software. So users who install these software applications; then have Yahoo Toolbar installed in IE, Firefox, Opera, ect. What makes this such a problem is that most user never read the Terms of Service that they are forced to "Agree" to before they install the software. Mainly because it is several pages if documents that don't make a lot of sense to the average user. So if the user is never given a chance to Allow or Deny the install of the Toolbar itself; it will be "Force Installed" onto the users computer without their knowledge. Many users have no idea how to uninstall the Toolbar once it is installed; which further causes aggravation to the user. And since the Toolbar is installed not just on 1 browser, but ALL web browsers on that users computer; the user will have to find a way to uninstall it from every browser it is effecting. An every growing number of software is coming bundled with this Toolbar. So a typical user that installs new software a few times a month; runs the chance of having the Toolbar Re-Installed each and every time. This is reminiscent of AOL; where they harassed customers with CD's and bundled their software with as many different types of software applications as possible. Even coming Pre-Installed with new computers. This ultimately failed and AOL lost over 99 Billion dollars in a matter of 1 year. Users eventually got sick of being bombarded with AOL software. So Yahoo risks pushing away customers by using this "Forced Installed" tactic. The Yahoo Toolbar also invades the users web browsing habits. Yahoo states this is to help Yahoo and their Advertisers. So basically Yahoo makes money from invading and selling the users privacy and the user is never given any of that revenue.

God Damn it man! Every week I end up installing something that installs this stupid Yahoo Toolbar onto my computer! I'm sick of uninstalling something I was never even asked to install in the first place! I hope Yahoo ends up just like AOL. Broken, poor and on deaths door!

girl grip

The ability girls and women have developed to hold several items at once in one hand. The skill has been developed due to the lack of pockets in women's clothing.

I thought she'd need multiple trips to carry her phone, keys, wallet, and Starbucks to her car since she needed the other hand to open the door, but she used her impressive girl grip to carry everything in one hand.

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.

"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!"

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."

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.
