hypothetical situation

A questionable event brought up in conversation which has already happened, or has been planned out completely in the speaker's mind and is waiting for public approval.

Most probably the event has occurred with direct involvement of the speaker, but it may have just involved another party which has divulged the information to the speaker.

Woman: Hypothetical situation - If a girl were to come up to a guy and bend over to pick up a pencil so he would look at her ass, then yell at him for looking, does that make her a bitch?

Other Woman: Oh my god, you are such a tease!

--

Guy: Completely Hypothetical situation - A guy borrowed his bro's car and after backing into a telephone pole gently, heard a crunching sound. Nothing appears to be wrong with the car, but he's almost sure he broke something. Does he tell his bro?

Bro: If he doesn't want his bro to show him where Bangkok is, yes.

hypothreatical situation

When someone, usually someone with a "tude" (or stereotypical, overprotective fathers) threatens to do something to someone else if that other person commits a certain act.

"If you lay one hand on that donut, I'm going to punch you into next week!"

"If you so much as post one copyrighted video, we'll sue you out of your skin!"

These are hypothreatical situations.

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

bullshot

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.
