The Root Of All Evil 

A debate television show hosted by Lewis Black which is played on Comedy Central. It takes two topics, and has two low-brow washed up comedians (like Greg Geraldo) argue about which is the worse of the two. While Lewis Black is the supposed star of this series, for the first 20 minutes of the show (need I remind you it's a 30 minute show) he only makes appearances by grinning at obviously unfunny jokes and looking at the screen.

The series was launched off with a decent topic, "Beer vs. Weed". Just after that, the topics started getting stupider and stupider, such as "Kim Jong Il vs. Tila Tequila" or "Las Vegas vs. The Human Body". At this rate a new season will be extremely unlikely, and it's cancellation is imminent.
Person 1: Hey, are you gonna watch The Root Of All Evil tonight?"

Person 2: Nah, I think their idea of "George Bush vs. Bread" is too cliche.

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."
