Banimals are animals beginning with the letter 'B' or 'Ba'. To be a true 'Banimal' the animal must also have banter value. So Bats are Banimals; they begin with the letters 'Ba' and have banter value (see the line from the film 'Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas': "We can't stop here, its Bat country!"
Other examples of the Banimal include Badgers, Baboons, Beavers and Barnacles. As you can see animals that begin with a 'B' but not a 'Ba' have to have a very strong banter value to be included. Bears for instance do not have enough true banter chutzpah to be included. Neither do Basking Sharks.

Word to describe a person whose physical behavior turns animalistic- uncontrollable flailing often leading to failing to attract attention, refusing to control oneself and becoming extremely loud, yelling, crying uncontrollably, usually in an attempt to distract from what the person has done or to garner attention from strangers in hopes they will be sympathetic to the person and possible rescue them. This behavior is often prompted once the person is caught committing a crime or wrongdoing, typically in public settings. Faced with unwavering realities that the person has willfully disregarded and now has no choice but to face the consequences.

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.
