Just wondering 

A comment made after an answer to a previous question. The comment means that person who makes the question had no important reason to ask, but was just curious.
Jack: Have you ever been to Japan? Paul: Yes, why do you ask? Jack: (I was) just wondering

the biggest FUCKING lie of ALL time. If anyone ever says "just wondering" you have the right to black mail and interrogate that son of a bitch until you uncover the truth. ESPECIALLY if it's about someone you might like.

Bad excuse to cover their true intention. Although it's easy to acknowledge that they are "just wondering," people use this phrase all the time for cretinous reason. I don't know.
(Ingame, random chat from game friend): Just wondering how old are you? Just wondering, really...

Just Wonderin’ 

An expression used when an associate (most commonly a suspicious girl friend or wife), has been seriously contemplating your possible (likely) infidelity or unfaithfulness. This expression usually is in reference to your whereabouts within the previous 24 hours, before the gf/wife has been able to make any real discoveries. This, leaving her at this point, just wonderin’.
Girlfriend: Hi baby, I’m so happy your home... where did you go after work last night?
You: I cane home.
Girlfriend: No, I mean before you cane home?
You: I did a few things, why, what’s with all the detective work?
Girlfriend: Oh, just wonderin’.
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."
