take a bullet 

1) To intentionally receive a bullet that was supposed to be for someone else.

2) To be able to hold any consequences for protecting someone's personality, values and interests.
1) The criminal was about to shoot my girlfriend but I stood in front of her and took the bullet instead.

2) My anti-anime dad found an eroge game at my younger sister's bedroom and now judges her as a "worthless daughter". So I come up and take a bullet for her by explaining to my dad that if he takes away all the anime, manga, eroge and specially her friends whom she made thanks to her interests and values, she won't be the same anymore and will be someone she isn't. I also added the eroge game was mine and that I just asked her to hold it for me.

Take a Bullet 

When you want to give someone who means everything to you the one thing that is yours to give. Your life.
It is not an easy choice; well thought out and flawlessly executed.
An imperfect end to all that ever was.
May you never know how that feels.
I knew a sweet guy once, felt that he shouldn't exist. He offered me his life so very long ago, with a bullet in mind.
I'd take a bullet instead.
Just to prove that he was important.

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
