Grounded Videos 

The so far most common and controversial type of videos on YouTube where a entity (usually user or fictional character) have misadventures in which he/she/they do something intentional and then get grounded for absurd amount of years by parents. The first video of this type, though not as the same formula of the videos nowadays, was a video titled "Diaper Grounding" by PoseidonGodofWater20 Productions, which it was uploaded in April 30, 2011. But as once, the first well-known grounded video was "Brian Gets In Trouble At School", uploaded on July 2, 2011 by Adamkleinschmidt2003.

They became popular with a video called "Caillou calls his Baby Sister Stupid / Grounded", made by African Vulture In December 2013 and later reuploaded by the FunEditor4 on November 3, 2018.

Not even the now-controversial programming site Scratch is free of these videos.

Grounded video 

A very common type of Goanimate (aka GoToHell) video. Usually, it involves a character, usually from a kids show, having a minor infraction, then suddenly his parents appear and grounds him for an incomprehensibly long period of time , usually at least 1 million years, then the character getting grounded walks away with huge internal screeches.
These videos are often very cringeworthy, with inanimated non-PNG objects and weird movements that defy physics being commonplace. They are so cringy that some mistook them as advertisements by Clorox.
Typical grounded video:
Caillou: I am going to eat some chips
*hand moves to a bag of inanimate chips with a background*
*boris appears*
Boris: *massive internal screech* o o o o o o o o CAILLOU HOW DARE YOU EAT THAT'S IT YOUR GROUNDED GROUNDED GROUNDED GROUNDED GROUNDED FOR 98532908774 x 10^31 YEARS!!!!!! GO TO UR ROOM NOW!!!!!!!!
Caillou: what a a a a a o *another massive internal screech*

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.

n. A screenshot fabricated by a company to misrepresent the graphics of a game; a combination of the words bullshit and screenshot.

Originated from Penny Arcade, a popular gaming webcomic.
-Have you seen Madden 2006 for the Xbox 360? The graphics are gonna be awesome!
-Dude, the Madden 2006 images they showed at E3 were bullshots. It doesn't look nearly as good as they said.
