Get the intitude mug.
ITtitude
A high level attitude common among many Information Technology personnel, technical support, software developers and similar professions. It is usually demonstrated by a great deal of arrogance, condescension, a propensity to offer insult and a strong emotional response to any perceived suggestion that a given problem is the result of an issue within 'their' code / network / database / realm of influence.
This attitude has been previously acknowledged in pop culture but never specifically defined (see Nick Burns, Saturday Night Live).

Vendor: "We've traced an communication issue between our application servers and your environment using Fiddler / Wireshark. It looks like there may be a problem with your proxy or firewall blocking specific files from our domain."
IT Rep (ITtitude): "There is absolutely nothing wrong with the Network. We are not having similar problems with other vendor software. Our proxy servers are configured based on industry standards and our local security policies. I refuse to entertain the possibility that an issue lies on my network. Please go back to your systems administrator and pursue a solution to this issue from your end."
User: Now I'm trying to do this quarterly and I can't get the stupid email attachment to open at all.
Nick Burns (ITtitude): Hmmm...it's the email that's stupid, not you..right?

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.

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."
