Downtown Tampa, Florida. The hot spot for hoochies, criminals, and stoners. The weapon of choice for assault seems to be the pocket knife, as usually when assault occurs (which is almost daily) somebody ends up with a blade in their ass. Its really only known for bars and clubs, you're not gonna find anything else there.

Cool kitty from Ybor City 

A person who grew up on the mean streets of Ybor City in the 1940's and 1950's who caused trouble around the neighborhood, commonly known nowadays as a hooligan. This person, in his teen years, enjoyed wearing white t-shirts all the time with the sleeves rolled up. He went through his teens and 20's, basking in the light of his self-proclaimed Elvis look alike image, although who would really want to brag about resembling a rock and roll star who had overgrown sideburns, was hooked on drugs, and died of an overdose. this person ends up joining the army, gets stationed in Germany, and meets the local flan, jager, and beer hoarder. He ends up kidnapping the Nazi lover back to the US where he, still to this day, enslaves her. They end up married, have a daughter and an absolutely awesome son...despite his flaws. These days, this "cool kitty from Ybor City", is not so cool anymore. He tells bad jokes, thinks he knows everything, and hates Robin Williams, although he is a closet metro sexual. In closing and despite all his flaws, he is still the best father someone could ask for.

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.
