Chasing the Rabbit

A term used to describe getting distracted or outright losing track of reality- often in reference to drug use, but also a term used sometimes by mentally ill people to describe a dissociative episode or the feeling of slipping into a flashback related to PTSD.
"At first, I knew it wasn't real, but I couldn't help chasing the rabbit."

Something that is very common to observe Mensa (high IQ) members doing when discussing a topic. They'll start off on one topic, but will usually veer off topic several times in rapid succession and end up talking about something totally different than when they started. This can happen within first few minutes of the discussion.
Damn! John is chasing the rabbit down the hole again!

When you are on a binge of mind altering substances and spiraling out of control on your journey to Wonderland. Beware The Red Queen. She means to take your head and eclipse your soul in darkness for eternity.
Brother, I have been chasing the white rabbit so hard! I am almost in Wonderland.

Chasing the white rabbit is a governmental term, in which we use to describe peoples fascination with chasing down the truth, following leads, even if it takes them down a path of deception. The Department of Defense knows that people will investigate stories overheard in the public or talked about in popular media or locations, and so we can create pools of fabricated beliefs in society, by putting misinformation out in the public about specific subjects. We call it chasing the white rabbit when we create a cover story, that leads a person down a path to misunderstanding. We create thousands of cover stories to deliberately throw off the public, and to fabricate wide spread confusion about anything the government is doing or even things the government is not doing, so that everyone is confused and tricked into not believing something they hear or leads them to having false beliefs about something.
Example: The government recently tested a directed-energy weapon to blanket the United States in snow, as part of a weather control operation. In order to divert peoples attention from the methods of how we did it, we created several cover stories that the snow was chemically created or made of nanobots, which had people literally burning snow and trying to explain why it turned black and didn't melt on live TV. In their endless pursuit of understanding this problem, the public engaged in chasing the white rabbit, completely wasting their time and never getting to the truth. Everyone then dismissed the claims as mere conspiracy theories, when in fact the snow was really manufactured, just using different means (we used a directed energy weapon to redirect cold air from Alaska, diverting the jet stream, among other classified methods).

In fact, the CIA was tied to developing weapons to do just this last year by popular sources of news like Fox News.

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."
