Convenienceship

A non-committal relationship formed purely for convenience. Two people aren’t dating, they aren’t “just friends,” and they definitely aren’t soulmates. They simply fulfill each other’s emotional or physical needs when it’s practical. No deep feelings, no long-term plans, just seasonal or situational companionship.

It’s the relationship equivalent of a pop-up store: appears when you need it, disappears when you don’t.
Example:

“We’re not dating. We’re in a convenienceship. He shows up during holidays, my plus one to events, accompanies me to places when i am bored and wish I had a boyfriend.”

Usage:
“I don’t want a boyfriend, I want a convenienceship. Someone who’s there for winters, movies, and emotional emergencies, then goes home before the feelings develop.”

convenientship 

The type of relationship that, if convenient, is a friendship. However, a convenientship is broken if one party goes out of their way to converse or anything else that is friendship related.
Jesse and I totally have a convenientship, we never stay in touch but if he's around town we're friends.

convienceship 

If there are two 'friends' who have a friendship but only one of them puts effort into this friendship while the other one only puts in effort when its convenient for them. Therefore turning this friendship into a convienceship.
Cory is always trying to hang out with Niki, but Niki only wants to hang out when its convenient for her. I guess they are in a convienceship now.

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
