soft rant 

A soft rant is similar to a rant in that it's a long-winded, one-sided outpouring of difficulties the person is facing. However, while a rant is usually done in anger or frustration, a soft rant is done in a more depressed/disappointed/hopeless manner.
Example: I've been having a lot going on in my life, and I thought maybe a soft rant might help me get some of it off my chest.
Example: Sigh. Okay, readers, I'm going to soft rant about some of the things that have happened recently.

Hard rant about taxes:
The f*cking government thinks they own us! They shove as much onto us as they possibly can and think we'll just accept it and move on with our f*cking pathetic excuses for lives. Well, no - not this time! I've had it up to here with their f*cking lies and excuses, and this time, they're gonna hear about it! I work my f*cking ass off all day in a miserable, dead end job, trying to feed my wife and kids, and then the f*cking government steps in and steals it all!

Soft rant about taxes:
Well, I understand the government needs to protect us and all, and give us our schools and libraries and roads, but do they really have to be taking so much? I just don't know what to do anymore. I have a minimum wage job with no chance of promotion, yet I'm trying to feed my family and still have enough left over to move out of my small apartment. Just when it looked like it couldn't get any worse, my car breaks down. I'd have money to fix it if the taxes weren't so high, and I've cut our budget down to the bare necessities. I have nothing left to give. I just don't know what to do.

girl grip 

The ability girls and women have developed to hold several items at once in one hand. The skill has been developed due to the lack of pockets in women's clothing.
I thought she'd need multiple trips to carry her phone, keys, wallet, and Starbucks to her car since she needed the other hand to open the door, but she used her impressive girl grip to carry everything in one hand.

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."
