Brownshoe 

A Canadian term for a career politician, one whose main goal is to climb the party ladder and get power, not to make real change or help his constituents. Typically reserved for members of the Conservative Party of Canada who hold neoliberal economic views and who advocate socially liberal policies. Called brownshoes due to their habit of wearing poor quality, badly fitted blue suits with clunky brown shoes to look casual and "appeal" to middle class voters.
"Did you see Jason Kenney and Andrew Scheer at the Gay Hindus for Free Trade fundraiser last night? Kenney was dancing with a transsexual, and he calls himself conservative..."

"Doesn't surprise me, he's a brownshoe, he'll sell out to anyone to win votes"

Brownshoe 

Brownshoe - A person who dresses in very poor form or is otherwise clueless with respect to fashion and general manners. Such a person might wear a pocket protector and carry a pen in their shirt pocket, use tape and continue wearing broken eye glasses, wear clunky brown shoes with black clothes, wear pants that are 3 inches too long or short, and likely has bad personal hygiene, like yellow teeth and bad breath. Also is likely cheap and will never offer to pay

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!"
