deja coup 

Deja Coup — the surreal realization that two years to the day after the attempted American Insurrection, the same congressmen who were instrumental in the attack on our democracy successfully made a bid for legitimate power on key congressional committees.

And on January 8th 2023 — two years and two days after the American Inssurection — history rhymed when followers of Jair Bolsonaro followed the same game plan in Brazil attacking their Capitol building as Bolsonaro looked on in safety from Florida eating chicken fajitas. He was later hospitalized for plausible deniability — the political equivalent of a mobster being at a wedding when a major “hit” takes place.

This is the psychological equivalent of a Vietnam era combat veteran being taken deep into a swamp to watch a fireworks display.

Some attribute the world wide rise of a militant and violent right to Steve Bannon; but, others say that he is just a highly mobile pimple on the ass of “this is how it’s always been.”

If you were a writer and submitted this as a plot for a novel; your editor would call you a hack and tell you that your writing was heavy handed.

This is the kind of world we’ve made!
Sung to the theme of the Dione Warwick song: Deja Vu

“Deja Coup could this be a nightmare I once knew
Is it true?
Deja coup could this be a nightmare coming true
Are we screwed?
A two year festering coup
The alt-right pestering you
Deja Coup”

déjà coup

A feeling of having witnessed Trump’s present impeachment before, who incited his diehard supporters-turned-terrorists on January 6, 2021 to help him illegally extend his White House stay for another faux more years.
Other than the audience having zero access to the Pinocchio-in-Chief’s racist and white supremacist tweets, there is a sense of déjà coup at his second impeachment trial, and a feeling of moral bankruptcy plaguing the majority of the GOP members, who are hell-bent to acquit him in spite of his treasonous act.

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
