Mechanical Animals 

Is a damn good 70's glam rock-inspired album from the 90's. If David Bowie was doing a glam rock homage in the 90's, this would be the album he'd have written.

He'd also have tits if he was redoing the Aladdin Sane album cover.
Greg Burk of LA Weekly once wrote that Mechanical Animals is one of the greatest albums of the 90's. Small wonder Lady Gaga is copying this era of Marilyn Manson.

Mechanical Animals 

an album released by Marilyn Manson in 1998--the album with the infamous tittied redheaded alien cover. Consisting mostly of well-produced glam rock (incuding "The Dope Show"), it served as the narrative sequel to the 1996 album Antichrist Superstar (though a lot of people never quite figured out how that worked exactly). It is considered by many (though not all) to be the band's best album to date.
A: Did you know that the title "Mechanical Animals" is an anagram for "Is An Alchemical Man"? So the cover really says "Marilyn Manson is an alchemical man."

B: Dude, you need a girlfriend.

An 'okay' album by Marilyn Manson produced in 1998.
I just bought Mechanical Animals the other day, and it fuckin rocked!
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.

n. A screenshot fabricated by a company to misrepresent the graphics of a game; a combination of the words bullshit and screenshot.

Originated from Penny Arcade, a popular gaming webcomic.
-Have you seen Madden 2006 for the Xbox 360? The graphics are gonna be awesome!
-Dude, the Madden 2006 images they showed at E3 were bullshots. It doesn't look nearly as good as they said.
