Acetaminophen

A fever reducing painkiller known for it's liver toxicity when taken in semi-large doses, also known as APAP.

It's found in pretty much any drug that's popular to get high so they add APAP to prevent abuse. Common drugs include Vicodin/Lortab 5-500mg APAP/Hydrocodone and Dextromethorphan hydrobromide cough syrup formulas.

Avoid it if you can.

Bob: Hey man, I got some of this vicodin, wanna do some with me?
Richard: No thanks, it's got acetaminophen in it. I like my liver to be alive.

Approved by the FDA in 1951.

Availiable in liquid suspension, chewable tablets, coated caplets, gelcaps, geltabs, and suppositories. Common dosages are 325, 500 and 650 mg.

When used as directed side effects are rare, but can cause liver damage due to large doses.

Acetaminophenotype

“Acetaminophenotype” is a combination of the painkiller chemical Acetaminophen and observable traits Phenotype in regards to research connecting the drug Tylenol (Acetaminophen) and consumption by pregnant women into increased risks for autism. “Acetaminophenotype” could be used to describe an autistic individual acting inherently obvious or otherwise overt to their disorder.

The acetaminophenotype of 4chan could vary wildly. You could see a picture of the finest anime girl tomboy chest you’ve ever seen and right beside that is a multi-manned heated argument over the ethics of AI art, and the next post over is a completely fictional yet entirely hypothetical design for a naval battleship.

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.
