Play Dead

Pretending to be drunk or passed out in a compromising situation in order to escape unintended consequences. Basically when someone is under the influence and uses the "I was really drunk excuse," in this case pretending to "pass out," in order to escape retribution from another individual or group.

Sam was getting a lap dance from Tim's girlfriend, Michelle, when Tim walked in. Sam decided to play dead and he told Tim the next morning that Michelle had given him a lap dance after he passed out.

roll over and play dead

To give up the will to try/the will to fight/or possibly stay silent/take the path of least resistance - but mainly to choose for whatever reason to throw in the towel on a situation where progression seems too difficult/daunting - my take on it anyway

Initially Tony could not face the thought of all the pain/work involved in reclaiming his life and mobility after his traffic accident .. So for awhile he could only 'Roll over and Play dead like a wounded animal may do.

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."
