disco lights 

The flashing lights on emergency vehicles which, when turned on, signal other cars to get out of the way. This term is most commonly used to refer to such lights on police cars, although it could be used for the same type of lights on ambulances or fire department vehicles.
So I was driving home, not noticing how fast I was going, and suddenly I saw those disco lights in my rear view mirror!

disco lights 

A product which is of incredibly low quality compared to its nearest competitors, yet maintains a similar price. The term originated from the tendency of such product to utilize colorful flashing lights (possibly in alternating or multiple colors) as a selling point.
Have you seen those cheap-ish third party controllers? Nothing but disco lights, they don't even have all the right buttons!

I got a new mouse, but it went bad after like a month. Stupid disco lights.

Sure this flash drive doesn't have the storage space or the lifespan as that other brand, but it lights up in blue, red, and green! I need some DISCO LIGHTS!

Man, fuck quality, I'm gonna buy some disco lights!

Red Light Disco 

Common in Victoria, Australia,

When you are stopped at a red traffic light to pump your music full blast and everyone gets out of the car and dances on the road until the light turns green at which point you all get back in the car and drive off
Person 1: What the hell is that guy doing?

Person 2: It's a red light disco, You see this all the time at the lights out the front of Fountain Gate

Scandinavian Light Disco and Pull-up Bar 

A noun referring to that moment when after you take your cousin, disembowel her, and use her viscera as a sexual lubricant while sodomizing her your mother walks in and says "I don't even know who you are anymore" and you reply "You probably didn’t recognize me because of the red arm".
Seamus never felt an ounce of regret, even right after his first Scandinavian Light Disco and Pull-up Bar.
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
