Mr. Poopy: Man Onerepublic is so sweet. I love "Apologize" even though it's overplayed by the radio stations I can't get enough of Timbaland singing in the background saying, "eh eh eh!"

Mr. Cool: Yeah, well, he original song trumps the one with Timbaland in it.

OneRepublic Syndrome (ORS) 

A highly contagious yet ironically desirable disorder, ORS is a sudden amazement and dumbfoundedness of the beauty of any music played by the world famous band known as OneRepublic. The effects of ORS are lingering; it will leave most people in what can appear to be a state of obsession for OneRepublic, as well as a strong hunger for more music by or similar to the incredibly beautiful and melodious band.

Though a somewhat recent band and therefore rather new syndrome, there have been at least two large outbreaks across the globe of ORS in history. The first being the largest and most prominentmwas caused mainly by one song, as these effects commonly are. Titled "Apologize," it destroyed and set records all over the planet, easily becoming the most aired song on the radio between the years of 2005 and 2006, only to be beaten by one song, "Bleeding Love," which was written by Ryan Tedder, OneRepublic's lead singer.

The second most well-known case, also the most recent, was caused by the song "Good Life." Appealing mostly to the young audience of today's pop culture, which has grown quickly and gained much more attention in recent years, "Good Life" has become a song a huge number of the population has come to love because of its message and beauty.
Benjamin told me he had first been diagnosed with OneRepublic Syndrome (ORS) years ago, and it is still highly effective on him to this day.

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.
