taxi driver's tan 

When one drives a vehicle a lot with the window rolled down and thier arm resting on the edge of the door where the window is rolled down - that arm receives a lot more exposure to the sunlight than the other arm, resulting in that arm being more tanned than the other.
Because the occupation of a taxi driver requires a lot of driving, sometimes they get the "taxi driver's tan" effect.
Bob: Hey look at John in his tank top.

Joe: Wow, look at his arms, he sure has a taxi driver's tan.

Taxi driver's tan 

1) A sun tan that extends to the elbow of one arm (the offside arm), frequently displayed by taxi drivers who nonchalantly steer one handed with the other grabbing the roof, while looking in the mirror to gauge the reactions of their passenger to their reactionary opinions.

2) A tanned appearance of one finger, the result of a catastophic failure in the integrity of the toilet paper when wiping the anus.

taxi driver's tan 

A term used when the finger breaks through the toilet roll during wiping, causing the finger to be coated in faeces. Derived from the way taxi drivers put their arm out the window and hold on to the roof with their fingers, therefore getting a tan on their fingers. See also: 'Breaching the hull'

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.
