Tea-aboo
Term designating a non-English person obsessed with English pop-culture and society.
Tea-aboos are typically extremely obsessed with English works (especially those created by Steven Moffat) such as Dr. Who, Sherlock, Harry Potter, Monty Python and Steampunk. In addition they are obsessed with other aspects of English culture such as the Victorian Era, Royal Family gossip, Banksy, etc. They only listen to British music, with their obvious favorites being Queen and The Beatles.
Tea-aboos tend to overdress for every occasion and wear anachronistic clothing such as a top hat or a pocket watch. They are almost always social outcasts to some degree (depending on their tea-aboo level) and generally live in well-educated and affluent areas of the United States such as the San Francisco Bay Area.
Usually have very passionate but uninformed opinions on all matters of British politics, especially Brexit and the NHS, and believe that all aspects of British culture are superior, despite having no experience with the UK outside of media portrayals. They use the British spellings and pronounciations for no reason other than to be a giant fuck.
While not all aspects of the Tea-aboo can be fully covered in this definition, one last important trait of note is their use of constant use of English slang in an attempt to normalize it and make their usage popular outside of the UK (Tea-aboos particularly love using slang such as saying "Bloody Hell" and "Sod it/off").

tea-aboo
A person who retains an unhealthy obsession with the U.K. and British culture, typically ignoring or even shunning their own cultural identity. Many tea-aboos talk in butchered British accents. While tea-aboos claim to love and support Birtish culture, counter intuitively, they tend to stereotype British culture by how it appears in their favorite shows and movies, which can be safely assumed to be offensive to the British.

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.

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.
