call it quits 

1) When someone was previously doing something but decided to stop it. It could be when someone quits a job, sports team, personal goal, a project, a relationship, etc.

2) referring to the rumor that Mikey Way (My Chemical Romance) "broke up" with Pete Wentz (Fall Out Boy). This supposedly happened during the 2005 Warped Tour, also known as the summer of like to fans. Infinity On High was released by FOB in 2007 with the song Bang The Doldrums, among the many tracks that released with the album. Petekey stans suspect that this bop, among many others, is about the mychem bassist. They say that Pete got emo about the breakup and proceeded to write the bop, as he would usually do with all of his relationships. The term "Call it quits" is mentioned directly in the song just before the first chorus.

toxic fan: omg did u know that pete and mikey totally dated??? there's a bunch of proof that they did!! they should just stop pretending and get back together already!!-
joselyn: there's no actual proof that they were together. and even if they did, they decided to call it quits for a reason. they both have children and are living happily with their significant others. respect that. you can dream about it but don't harass them. it's disrespectful and toxic.

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.
I was folding my clothes and a huge hair spider fell out onto my hand
