Character Limit 

The most retarded rule ever put in place by social media websites. A character limit is a numerical limit on how many letters, numbers, symbols, spaces, digits, etc. that you can type into a single text box.

The character limit literally forces you to shorten all of your responses to where you can't even make sense of them at times. If you happen to exceed any given character limit, you are instructed to cut down your response in order to fit the number of characters (letters/numbers/symbols/etc.) allowed by the website. So if you are trying to put all of your ideas into one post, you often end up getting screwed over by the character limit. It ends up becoming an overall pain in the ass.

Some notable websites that contain character limits include: Urban Dictionary (1500 character limit), YouTube (500 character limit), and most annoyingly, Twitter (originally a 140 character limit for all posts, now a 118 character limit for posts that contain URL's).
Rob: "Almost done typing my definition for 'Character Limit' on Urban Dictionary; it's gonna be kickass."

*Presses "Send to UD"*

Rob: "WTF!? I have 1527 characters and the character limit is only 1500!? BULLSH*T!!!"

Super Fucking Obnoxious 1500 Character Limit 

I've seen definitions 10,000 "characters" long, but for some reason we're restricted to only 1500 now. Which sucks.
The Super Fucking Obnoxious 1500 Character Limit is the worst thing to happen to this site in a long time... some definitions are meant to be long, people!

Figuring out the fact that the character limit is extremely long on Urban Dictionary so you use whatever you can to the point where it gets hard to read or maybe even off screen 

That.

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.
