reverse engineer 

Several meanings but among these is a new occupation / department that is affiliated or works with world-wide engineering and departments of rewrite.

For example: low-tech hackers, people who do everything wrong by accident or on purpose and are therefore well-positioned to think of loopholes or the what-ifs, and all of the people underrepresented at present in engineering (women, queers, blacks) at present (and subject to change).
S1: Reverse engineers are often Pynchon fans don't ask me why.

S2: Did you hear the news? Engineering was seriously lacking in action and they finally had to let all of the reverse engineers in so that people could get their groove on. Hears Nelly playing in the background ... "it's getting hot in here, let's take off all our clothes!"

reverse engineering

Dictionary.com defines it as:

The process of analysing an existing
system to identify its components and their interrelationships
and create representations of the system in another form or at
a higher level of abstraction. Reverse engineering is usually
undertaken in order to redesign the system for better
maintainability or to produce a copy of a system without
access to the design from which it was originally produced

Reverse Engineering In A Legal Case

Planning to win a legal case by starting from the end and making a parallel system to subvert anything that stands in the way of winning the case. It is beyond making a case airtight. It is winning a case by all means necessary including making arrangements outside of the court case system.
Divine Law in the Philippines is very generous to the Integrated Bar of the Philippines in Luzon. This will come in handy in case they want to do REVERSE ENGINEERING IN A LEGAL CASE.
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.
