the platinum rule 

The Platinum Rule is the rule above the Golden Rule. The golden rule being "love thy neighbor"; the platinum rule is "never ever, ever, ever 'love' thy neighbor" (have sex or intimate relations with them).
The Platinum rule comes from the Bro Code Article 83: A bro shall, at all costs, honor the Platinum Rule: Never, ever, ever ever "love" thy neighbor. In particular, a Bro shall never mix it up romantically with a co-worker.

The 9 Stages of the Platinum rule are: Attraction, Bargaining, Submission, Perks, Tipping Point, Purgatory, Confrontation, Fall Out, and Co-Existance.
Attraction: Getting attracted to the person(s) you see on a daily basis
Bargaining: Saying that all would be alright and the Platinum rule will not apply
Submission: Giving in to the relationship
Perks: Noticing the upsides to the relationship
Tipping Point: When you notice that it won't work out
Purgatory: The never ending suffering that will follow
Confrontation:Ending the relationship
Fall Out: A reaction, a bad one, from the confrontation.
Co-Existance: Learning to live with that person(s)
Such relationships will never work out and will go through all 9 steps if its with someone you see on a daily business.
Anthony: Hey I'm gonna take my doctor out on a date tonight!
David: Don't poop where you eat Anthony.

Anthony: What do you mean?
David: The Platinum Rule.
Anthony: No, this doesn't count.

-A few weeks later-
Anthony: You were right. This relationship was a total failure.
David:The Platinum Rule is proven once again.

The Platinum Rule 

Victimize people with your own pathology. It's intended to be used selectively. How do I know? I wrote the damn thing.
Hym "Yeah, but see, now you're not doing YOUR thing. You're the thing I ascribe to all of you. The Platinum Rule. And you're using it as intended. That's called 'Me being correct.' Good job me. GoOd JoB oThEr Me!"

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.
