Republic of Ireland

1) A description of the State whose name is internationally recognised as Ireland.

2) The name of the association football (soccer) team which represents Ireland.

Ireland is a democratic republic; in 1948 the Government of Ireland declared that Ireland was a Republic. In consequence Ireland was expelled from the British Commonwealth as at that time it was not possible to be both a republic and a member of the Commonwealth. The rules changed when Britain withdrew from the Indian subcontinent and both Pakistan and India were allowed to become part of the Commonwealth as Republics.

The republic of Ireland was declared in 1948.

Anunnaki Republic of Iceland

The Anunnaki Republic of Iceland is a fictional country that's basically a meme about the zuists, anunnakists and sumerian neopagans from Iceland in a secnario where they take power in Iceland and install an Anunnaki Republic in Iceland. In the memes, the Anunnaki Republic of Iceland is often portrayed as being a country with really low taxes or even with no taxes and with people living in high standards of living being almost closer to how Anunnas actually live, and even following the Anunnaki Model and Anunnaki Theocracy as its politics.

"The Anunnaki Republic of Iceland is a meme that went too far, but it might be good to make Anunnaki identity, culture, religion and spirituality become even more popular."

"The Anunnaki Republic of Iceland is a meme just as the Islamic Republic of Sweden is also a meme."

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.
