shiny pokemon 

A pokemon encountered in the wild with an alternative coloring; they also sparkle as they come out of your pokeball once you catch it - which is highly advised, seeing as there is a 1 in 8,192 chance of encountering one each battle. It's a pretty good idea to use a master ball on one if you see one, as the pokemon can sometimes flee before you get a chance to throw your pokeball or you can accidentally weaken it too much and KO it - which is a little like liquid gold running through your fingers.
Josh encountered a shiny pokemon - a Bellsprout - last week; he was so excited that he jumped up and down and accidentally made his Charizard use Fire Blast. He is now in the midst of a deep depression.

Shiny Pokemon 

A alternately colored Pokemon that people, I myself included, spend hours of their lives playing video games for. For no good reason. Shiny Pokemon don't have different stats, they just look different and are more rare. What the fuck is my problem.

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.
I was folding my clothes and a huge hair spider fell out onto my hand
