Tailcocks 

A cooler, more fun process of drinking cocktails. Adults drink cocktails. Pimp-daddy party boys go out for tailcocks. If you're feeling really frisky, you go out for some tailcockadoos. Does not necessarily mean to drink only mixed drinks. Can include beer and wine as well. Is more of a state of mind.
Yo, brothaman, what's the haps for tonight? You up for a few tailcocks?

oooohhhhh yeah, let's chug down some tailcockadoos my man!

johnny tallsocks

Someone who wears shorts that are too short and socks that are too tall. Almost always a white guy who works out, or thinks they are in shape.
I had to leave the library after Johnny Tallsocks sat down next to me.

tailbacks 

traffic backup initiated and maintained by thoughtless idiot gawkers preceeding a road-side human specatcle.
"I managed to get the bike on to the hard shoulder, and jump of it at a sensible speed. As it groundto a halt on the shoulder, it went pop three times, and turned into a ginormous fireball. I caused huge tailbacks, got on radio 1 travel time, and even into some of the papers..." -Dr.Nick R.

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."
