ingrown toenail 

A red, enflamed bulb of skin that grows over the side of your toenail. Usually considerably annoying and mildly painful until it is removed by a doctor. What the doctor will do is anesthetize your toe and cut away part of the toenail, and that part will have to grow back over several months.

Ingrown toenail is caused by clipping your toenail too deep on the sides, or by chewing your toenails. Don't do it unless you want a trip to the doctor.

You will know you have an ingrown toenail when the toe starts to bother you around 5-7 days after you caused the trauma. It will CONTINUE TO GROW until you get it removed, it will never go away. It will develop scab tissue over the enflamed part to protect itself.
Johnny clipped his toenails too close to the skin on the sides, and several months later he had an ingrown toenail. His complaint was, "Then why do they make the toenail clippers curved on the sides?"

Betsy developed the unfortunate habit of chewing on her toenails, and several weeks later she had 2 ingrown toenails.

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.
I was folding my clothes and a huge hair spider fell out onto my hand
