Give Me Space 

If someone says "I need space" it means that they need to take some time away from the relationship in order to decide how to articulate their needs, wants, and expectations. Someone's need for space doesn't mean you did anything wrong. A need for space may not exclusively be relationship based, it can also be because of stress in other areas of a person's life. Sometimes, separation is required in order for growth.
Girlfriend: *being smothering*

Boyfriend: "Jessica, I need you to give me space."
Girlfriend: "...I understand."

One Week to One Month Later
Boyfriend: "Hey, so I've thought a lot about our relationship and I've decided.."

Space Me 

1. When you meet new people out or perhaps you're reconnecting with a long lost somebody, suggest they look you up on MySpace. Maybe you're short on time and can't play catch-up right then. This is the super simple way of saying "keep in touch", "later", "text me" or "call me", etc. (Because puhleeese, everybody and their uncle has a MySpace profile.)

2. When you're blowing someone off but not trying to look like a total sub-zero ice queen.
1. On her way out the door she blew air-kisses to her friends, waved and departed by enthusiastically saying, "Space Me!"

2. He was my brothers friend so I was playing nice even though he was lookin' kinda janky with his busted faux-hawk. I let him chat me up but when he asked for the digits I said, "Oh, yeah...just Space Me at.....". Since I have a private account, he won't have an all-access pass to me or my hot friends.

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."
