If it wasn't for my horse, I wouldn't have spent that year in college 

From Lewis Black, it's the kind of saying that has no conceivable logical explanation and can cause your head to explode if you think about it for any significant amount of time.
"Right, New Jersey is a great place to live. And if it wasn't for my horse, I wouldn't have spent that year in college."

if it wasn't for my horse, i wouldn't have spent that year in college 

No one knows what this phrase means. Comedian Lewis Black said this in a bit but he doesn't know what it means either.
If it wasn't for my horse, I wouldn't have spent that year in college.

if it wasn't for my horse, i wouldn't have spent that year in college 

In a bit by Lewis black he overheard one girl say this to another. He went on to say that this is the type of nonsensical utterance that if you think about it too long you will develop an aneurysm and your head will explode. In fact, in many places trading a horse for a year of college is acceptable. Horses can be sold for $10s of thousands of dollars.
I was broke so if it wasn't for my horse, i wouldn't have spent that year in college.

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."
