gangster lean

1) The way in which a 'gangster' sits in the driving seat of his 'ride'. ie, leaning towards the passenger seat, with one arm resting on the glove/tape box in the middle, the other hand on top of the wheel and head ducked low under the rearview.

2) A type of walk or bowl employed by a 'gangster' that makes it look like said gangster has a slight limp from prehaps having a 'cap' 'popped' in their leg.
Thus leaning to the opposite side and taking the weight of the injured leg produces a gangster lean. An injured leg however is by no means a prerequisite for having a gangster lean, many addopt the style in an effor to look 'hard' or 'cool'

Lyrics from: William DeVaughn - Be Thankful for What You Got
"Diamond in the back, sunroof top
Diggin the scene
With a gangster lean, wooh-ooh-ooh"

Gangster Lean

The original 'gangster lean' came from old gangster movies and may have even been taken from real life. When fleeing (usually from the scene of a crime) and a car pulls up and you jump on the side of one of those old gangster cars like a 1937 Hudson Terraplane, and you lean on the outside of the car until you're far away.

From Roman Polanski's 1974 timeless crime/mystery classic 'Chinatown'. Jack Nicholson and Faye Dunaway are told to get into a car by some thug, and Nicholson goes to beat him up while Faye takes the car and starts it towards Nicholson as he jump onto the car and does the 'gangster lean'.

Fleg

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!"

Skeef

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
