nuclear meltdown

Getting so intoxicated that you become unable to form rational thoughts thus completely embarassing yourself in front of friends and/or strangers.
Chris drank a fifth of Jack by himself and had a nuclear meltdown, falling down in the street and cutting his hands open then stealing a package of string beans from a deli and throwing them at random strangers.

Nuclear meltdown

An situation when the temperature inside reactor core reaches such high levels that the fuel rods (made from Uranium) begin to melt their way down and destroy the reactor.

It usually happens when fuel rods cannot be cooled by a cold substance (for example heavy water) and they start vaporising every single molecule of water nearby, thus accelerating the process of building heat. The only thing operators can do now to stop it is to drop control rods, but it can be impossible because of built up pressure (that's how Chernobyl happened). When the control rods are down, the nuclear power plant crew still needs to resume water delivery to the reactor because of nuclear decay

TL:DR Nuclear fuel gets hot and burn it's way down the reactor.
Guy from Fukushima: The tsunami shut down our water pumps and now now the heat level is over the critical point. We have to evacuate whole wing of power plant and get fireman over here. Tell them there's high risk of Nuclear meltdown.

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.
I was folding my clothes and a huge hair spider fell out onto my hand
