Why don't I do something about it?

Oh? Am I not saving you fast enough? Maybe I'll get around to it in, like, 5 years or so...
Hym "Me? Oh, nobody. Just a meta/hypertext writing genius who has been made into a literal archetypal figure (the intimations of which range from stioc, monomaniacal hero to narcissistic superman). I may or may not have convinced the world's most famous atheist that the creature is real and I made the world's most famous clinician into several anime characters in his peripheral association to me. If you're trying to punish me for this then I'm at least Plato-adjacent (the poison is just a slower acting one). I would say that it's working pretty well, I mean, nobody's gotten raped or murdered by me yet. So that's pretty good... And why don't I do something about it?... You want me to fix the inherent corruption of man?.... Because... it's not the church that is the problem. It's the constrained malevolence that resides in the hearts of all men... And I can't even get you flesh-sacks to give me the credit that I'm due. Let alone get them to stop being evil filth-monkey abominations." 🤷

There's literally nothing I can do about it (There's something he can do about it)

Yeah I saw a meme that went along those lines. I'm not doing that.
Hym "You see: There's literally nothing I can do about it (There's something he can do about it) 👈 That right there is YOUR ego. That's the little voice in your head. I say something. You tell yourself the opposite. The reality is in fact the thing I said. You prompt me to do something about it. I already said the thing that is commensurate with what is actually the case and, therefore, have no choice but to repeat myself. OK. I'll do the only other thing I can do which is: tell you something else that is non-contradictory. That being 'Stop stalling and do the thing I said."
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.

n. A screenshot fabricated by a company to misrepresent the graphics of a game; a combination of the words bullshit and screenshot.

Originated from Penny Arcade, a popular gaming webcomic.
-Have you seen Madden 2006 for the Xbox 360? The graphics are gonna be awesome!
-Dude, the Madden 2006 images they showed at E3 were bullshots. It doesn't look nearly as good as they said.
