fandom_wank 

Very famous journal (formerly on livejournal and blurty, now on journalfen) which mocks the idiocy, silliness, and drama of some people in various fandoms. Can be seen as amusing or irritating, depending if you were on the receiving end of the wank. Also known as f_w.
The Harry Potter and LOTR fandoms are often featured on fandom_wank.

fandom_wank 

An elitist, in-fighting online community that mocks other online communities for elitism and in-fighting. Often bemoans being chased off of other journaling services and having to restart repeatedly, before going on to laugh at other communities being removed from journaling services and having to restart. Displays shock and disgust at people leaping on someone for daring to speak against the status quo, just before leaping on any member of the community that questions their own status quo. Jeers over heads of other communities getting in a huff and deleting entries or even the community, while conducting secret plots to delete their own community to, depending on whom you ask, "stir things up", "teach them a lesson", or "as a joke".

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.
