grandparenting

To take care of your children's children in a way that makes non-grandparents feel undervalued and moronic. Also, to so facetiously do your kids a favour, by simply "babysitting", but feeling like you deserve a hero cookie for it.
"Looking forward to grandparenting my grand kids for my daughter so she can go out with her friends tonight!"

Grandparenting

When as a grandparent you believe all time spent with grandchildren is needed and required instead of want to or desired by ones self. A higher level of "babysitting " your grandkids!
We will not be babysitting our grandchildren, we are "grandparenting" them to allow our adult child to go party!

Attending a life-cycle event for your grandchild while at a remote geolocation by a means of advanced technology, such as Skype or Facetime.
eGrandparenting is great – I couldn't make it out to Boston for my Anthony's piano recital, so my son, bless his heart, held up his Androgynous phone and took some video for me to see. Now if only I could figure out how to open my email…

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!"
