foppish dandy 

Foppish Dandies are gentlemen of wit and learning, who are known to jape and jest at the expense of others. They wear only the finest doublets and waistcoats, and their devastating bon mots are feared by ladies and gentlemen of good standing every-where.

Foppish Dandies tip their caps at jaunty, rakish or even saucy angles. They compose satirical quatrains while prancing merrily, gadding about gaily, kicking their heels to and fro.

They have also been known flout good taste by wearing the gaudiest and most ostentatious monocles. Some Foppish Dandies comport themselves in a boorish manner, and stay up all night drinking vermouth and squandering their family fortunes at whist.
Lord Hamond Snape Titmarsh-Magpie comported himself in a most boorish manner, affecting the dress and japery of a Foppish Dandy and was slapped by no fewer than eight ladies of good standing for his bold and ribald comments.

Foppish Dandy 

Foppish Dandies primarily are concerned with wit, revelry, and their own stylish appearance. Often confused with gay men (who are also stereotypically well-dressed and witty) they're traditionally unconcerned with sexual preference and many were notorious rakes and womanizers. Well known foppish dandies include John Malcovich in Dangerous Liasons, Andre 3000, Bishop Don "Magic" Juan, Errol Flynn, and the Duke of Windsor.
Mr. W_________, a foppish dandy of eccentric proportion, managed to lure the chambermaid into his boudoire with a measure of port every bit as ample as her heaving, corseted bosom.

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.
