The Sox Pox 

Another name for The Curse of the Bambino, which has since been broken in 2004.
The Sox Pox is broken. Now it's been 4 World Series for them since, incidentally the same number of times Donald Trump has filed for bankruptcy.

The Tube Sox 

A fantasy baseball name, exclusively used by homosexuals. The tube is a thinly veiled reference to a penis, since fantasy baseball owners who call their team the Tube Sox generally see penises everywhere. Tube Sox generally come from Seattle, which is no surprise. It's the gayest city. Often times, the Tube Sox finish anywhere from 4th to 5th place, with the sometimes surprising creep into third place (though only for brief periods.)
"Dude, the Tube Sox are in second-place right now."

"They're so gay."

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."
