Fredrick: How is it about you tell me what exactly is going on behind my rose merry bushes.
Sandy:That, sir, would be a smoke circle
Fredrick: Excellent! Let us do join, Sandy.
Sandy: Splendid idea, I can throw down a blunt and you can pass a plethora of bowls

Smoker's Circle 

Often seen at college campuses and other places with strict policies toward smoking, these are a byproduct of the growing anti-smoking trend. By controlling where smokers can go to have their cigarettes, the smoke-free movement has created a social group based around smoking. These groups often take the form of a circle as more arrive, and are united at very least by the fact that those present smoke. In the time it takes to finish a cigarette, members can quickly discover goals, views, etc that they have in common with others. This phenomenon also adds to the allure of cigarettes, by bringing people who do not smoke into smoking areas for the sake of good conversation, and can often lead to them becoming smokers as well. This decision to become a full-fledged member of the smoker's circle is often rationalized by stating the health detriments of how much second-hand smoke is already being inhaled without the psychological benefit of nicotine. Sometimes these members are actually social smokers, smoking exclusively at the smoker's circle or other times when they are surrounded by smokers, using the same rationalization as previously stated.

Because of the smoker's circle, "smoke-friending" is becoming more and more viable. Upon arrival in an unfamiliar area, smokers are able to meet people they may have otherwise not given a moment's attention. This also attracts new smokers, as some join in an effort to gain companionship when other methods are not as effective as planned.
Aaron: "Hey Bruce, where's Jason? Wasn't he just with you?"
Bruce: "Yeah, he was, but you can't smoke in here, so he's out front at the smoker's circle."
Aaron: "Oh man, I hope they don't get talking about the economy out there, we won't see him until half-a-pack from now!"

John, to roommate: "Man, I thought we'd meet more people by now, I mean we've been here a week, had our door open, and so far the only people we seem to know are the RA and that kid next door who drops the f-bomb 14 times whenever he dies in MW2."
Roommate: Dude, I have an idea- let's run to the gas station and buy a pack of cigarettes. There's a smoker's circle out at the entrance, I bet we can smoke-friend some people!"

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
