Young Adult Fiction 

A genre of (primarily) novels, movies, and tv shows that often focuses on the perspective of a young teen protagonist who is a goody two-shoes mary sue messianic type of character who lives in a dystopian setting and for some reason he/she is the leader of a rebellion against a totalitarian government or uncovers a government conspiracy and seeks out to liberate the people of his/her dystopian nation. Often this is a cheap way of writing a story because the intended audience are tween age kids, teenagers, and even college students because people of these age groups are easily impressed with narrow story telling and narratives that play with their sense of grandiosity.

It becomes worse with another form of Young Adult Fiction that focuses on romantic angst and (even worse) romantic angst with fantasy monsters like vampires, zombies (ehhh necrophilia!), and werewolves (that's for furries). Many of these romantic YA novels tend to focus on bland and 1 dimensional characters with extremely bizarre scenarios of drama or teen angst that are supposedly "relatable" but are really far fetched from being relatable to a irl person. Once again tween and teenage female readers tend to read this stuff because it somehow relates to their trivial problems when in reality they don't at all.
Examples of Young Adult Fiction in the science fiction dystopian setting:
The Hunger Games, Divergent, Ender's Game, Maze Runner.
Examples of Young Adult Fiction with romantic drama or romantic drama with halloween monsters:
Twilight, Paper Towns, Fault of Our Stars, Warm Bodies, A Hunger Like No Other, and lastly, Fifty Shades of Gray.

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.
