Hell Hold 

Usually a common typo for the often used term, Hell Hole. This term of course which means; a place of horrific and agonizing terror.

The nearly identical term, Hell Hold, also retains a nearly identical definition. However, unlike the more commonly used term, Hell Hole, the term Hell Hold is more accurately and fully pronounced in its use of virtually the same meaning.

The component term, “Hold” implies an inescapable death grip of permanence in the place where one endures horrific and agonizing terror through ever-lasting torment.

This more versatile and formally pronounced form of the same phrase is sure to never be noticed as a deviation from it’s secular counterpart, Hell Hole. Also, the point will come across as a more impactful statement knowing that it can be said louder and more confidently as it is a more accurate and meaningful statement.
Example 1

Person A: Are you ready to go back to work yet?

Person B: Hell no, I ain’t ready to go back to that Hell Hold!!!!!!

Example 2

Person A: So how was Jury Duty today? I saw that it lasted like 12 hours....

Person B: Yeah, it was a split jury, so they kept me at that Hell Hold all day until they finally unlocked the doors for us at 6pm.

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.
