Source Material

Hey! You took my advice! Or obeyed my command... Either way, I'm glad to hear it. I'm technically a creative consultant though...

Hym "That a boy! Man? Man isn't the saying though... Maybe I'll change it... Yep. I'm changing. We're saying 'That a man' now. SO SAYS HYM!!! Ok. But I'm glad you decided to guided it more towards the source material."

Source Material Allergy

noun
A condition where writers or directors act like reading or respecting the original material is toxic. Symptoms: rewriting the story, changing characters’ personalities, and inventing plot points out of nowhere—usually with the proud proclamation that they “improved” it.
Symptoms include:
Ignoring established world rules
Characters behaving in ways that betray their core identity
Frequently saying things like, “We just didn’t like the original”
Confusing longtime fans while trying to attract new ones

“The sequel suffered from full-blown Source Material Allergy—apparently dragons are now allergic to fire too.”

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.
