Overly Sensitive Military Wife

See also "Dependopotomus." An Overly Sensitive Military Wife (OSMW) are just that: Overly Sensitive Military Wives. Typically, before their marriage to a service member, they have spent months scoping the pool for potential candidates. When she finds one fit for breeding, the OSMW pounces. Once married, she devours the military life. She will tell you how terrible and lonely it is being married to a service member, get a tattoo in his honor, be jobless, and enjoy the daily Hostess fatty cakes while sitting at home on Facebook.
Not to be confused with a Dependopotomus, although remarkably similar and typically concurrent-- they are, in fact, two seperate classifications. The OSMW may have, at some point or another in her marriage, had a job.

An OSMW can make drama over anything. ANYTHING. Go ahead and ask her about her endeavours as a small business owner ranging from Avon Representative, Mary Kay Independent Consultant, Passion Parties, Scentsy, or making of "brag bags."
Did you see that Overly Sensitive Military Wife punch out the 4 year old kid at the commissary for the last box of Twinkies? She moves like a Dependopotomus!

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.
