Yokohama International School 

The greatest school in the kanto area with an absolute shit athletic program and a campus that is so flammable that a single match could burn the place to the ground.
Guy 1: Do you go to Yokohama International School?
Guy 2: Yeah, but the sports program is so bad

Yokoyama 

Typically hot-ass asian chick who rocks balls at math. Especially fuckin hard math that has a lot of letters instead of numbers. I mean, wtf is that about? You show up to advanced math class and its more like english class. But the asian chick gets it, and she helps you out. So you start to get close, not to jeopardize your friendship or your grade, but you still want more. So you make a move and it doesn't pan out. Now things are just awkward and you don't know what to do. You would ask for advice from your older brother but he's a dick.
I'm in a bad way right now. Like school wasn't gay enough, now I got a Yokoyama situation.

Mitsuteru Yokoyama (横山 光輝, Yokoyama Mitsuteru, June 18, 1934 – April 15, 2004) was a Japanese manga artist born in Suma Ward of Kobe City in Hyōgo Prefecture. His personal name was originally spelled Mitsuteru (光照), with the same pronunciation. His works include Tetsujin 28-go (Aka Gigantor), Giant Robo, Akakage, Babel II, Sally the Witch, Princess Comet, and adaptations of the Chinese classics Water Margin and Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
Mitsuteru Yokoyama entered the Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation after graduation from high school, but quit his job before five months passed because there was no time to draw a manga. He found a new job as a publicity department member for a movie company based in Kobe and pursued his manga artist career on his free time.

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!"
