Get the krauesen mug.
fully krausened
Synonym for drunk. Pronounced "kroy-zind."
Origin: Heileman's Old Style Beer once advertised itself as "Fully Krausened." Krausening is a brewing process of naturally carbonating beer by adding a little fresh fermenting beer to the finished product and letting it finish out in an air tight environment, so that the CO2 which is produced is absorbed into the liquid. While legitimate in origin, the term became associated with drinking too much beer.
Most commonly heard in Chicago, Wisconsin, and other parts of the US Midwest where Old Style is most available and popular.

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."
