direct sunlight factor 

As with it's twin, wind chill factor, direct sunlight factor-- or DSF -- changes the temperature of an object when affected by it, in this case raising the temperature -- rather than lowering it -- in relation to the temperature of the air, due to the warming rays of direct, unimpeded sunshine on said object.
Despite the frigid temperatures at the airport this morning, Josh was able to get all the ice off his plane quickly by pulling it out of the hangar and into the sunshine where the direct sunlight factor raised the plane's surface temperature rapidly to melt it.

derect sunlight 

A boner that you get while sunbathing nude, usually in response to seeing naked ladies in your same vicinity.
People consider it perfectly acceptable/understandable to "publicly" have a hard-on in areas of derect sunlight (i.e., a "clothing optional" beach), but it is still frowned upon to ask for sex from fellow tanners of the female persuasion, even though they, too, are totally "showing off their merchandise" for all to see, and thus it would be only natural for red-blooded studs in their vicinity to "want some" from them.

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.
