Overexposed

Something that has been played, listened to, or talked about so much to the point where the object becomes unbearable and the general public begins to build a collective hatred for the poor thing. This usually happens to really good YouTube videos, Vines, or songs that go viral; however this can happen to many other things ranging from memes to people.

Example 1-
Radio: "I've never seen a diamond in the flesh. I cut my teeth on wedding rings in..."
Girl 1: "Ugh, Royals is playing, that song is so overexposed. Is there a volume lower than mute!"
Girl 2: What I love Royals! The message is so good and her tone of voice is amazing."
Girl 1: "I love it too, but I swear if I hear that song again I'll kill the first thing I see."

Example 2-
Guy 1: "Oppan Gangnam Style... Gangnam Style..."
Girl 1: "Seriously... That song needs to stay dead. #overexposed"
Guy 1: "Well, sorry..."

Fleg

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!"

Skeef

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.
