a pot to piss in 

A say, a count.
I have all the support of the workers, the boss doesn't have a pot to piss in.

A chicken for every pot to piss in 

Although a seemingly harmless and fun mash-up of two phrases (Herbert Hoover's campaign promise of prosperity "A chicken in every pot" and it's counterpart phrase, "He/she doesn't have a pot to piss in" meaning the poor bastard/bastardette is beyond broke), this phrase actually refers to those who will put a chicken in a pot for no good reason other than to urinate on the postmortem bird (sometimes referred to as "Chissing").
In a perfect world, Pierre Michel would have a chicken for every pot to piss in just so he wouldn't be alone in his deviance working the graveyard shift at the chicken restaurant.

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."
