Great Teachers

Great teachers are those who, above all, apreciate this about school children, that pupils are as were they -from a poem (translated) from one of the many web-sites on him, of the hailed late Cypriot teacher-thinker Orhan Seyfi Ari:

Sometimes such fools we were, sometimes smart kids
Sometimes Satan's tools, sometimes with saintly deeds

This appreciation made this teacher, one of the much hailed great teachers, Orhan Seyfi Arı loved by everyone -they named steets after him, composed poetry after him.

Great Teacher Onizuka

Popular anime and manga series centered around the exploits of one Eikichi Onizuka, a musclebound blonde ex-biker gang member who decides he wants to become a high school teacher to win the 'hearts' of virgin schoolgirls. However, we quickly find out that he's really a tough guy with a heart of gold who wins over each and every student that tries to get him fired by using his street smarts to inspire them and rid them of their inner demons.

Tokyopop is taking forever to translate the GTO manga.

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."
