The Narcissistic "Smirk"
The look daughter in laws and son in laws have surely seen from their toxic in laws. Usually, you'll catch them glaring at you with this smirk after they've completely insulted you. Always making sure to slip the smirk in when nobody is watching. You're now the only one who has caught the smirk and if you bring it up you're the crazy one! It is the most sickening thing to witness because when you see this smirk. You KNOW everything they said was intentional and meant to hurt you. You have to wonder how anyone could operate like this and nobody catches it or says anything about it. You definitely know it when you see it! Trust me!
You: Surprises mil with family member coming for a visit (Over Seas flight...)
Mil: Hears you planned it multiple times, that you tried hard to make the surprise special!
Mil: Runs to son immediately after hearing that and thanks him. With a showy display of hugs and kisses :D
You: Confused but they are typically shitty so whatever (Can't say you didn't try! Right?!)
Husband: Looks at mother says "You know I wasn't the one to put this whole thing together why are you thanking me like this, you know my (Wife) did it!
Mil: Looks at me & goes "Oh really!?" (She already knows it was you but loves to play stupid like this and deliberately ignore the obvious) SOOO... she stands there for a minute looks at you and gives you The Narcissistic "Smirk" and walks out of the room without another word.
At the end of the night (a 4 hour long night in which they only spoke their language in front of you and across you at the dinner table so you were just left sitting there in silence as to not make the family member who just flew HOURS uncomfortable) THATS when she gives you a half assed "Thank you" through her teeth at the door... through you guessed it, The Narcissistic "Smirk"!!!
You: Realize there was never anything that would ever make this woman think you deserve any kind of basic etiquette.
You: No Contact anymore & thriving!
Nobody deserves behavior like this you included!!

shirkin' the gerkin
Literally, masterbation (male). As in penis = gerkin pickle. Figuratively, not doing anything constructive. Wasting time, either by your own volition, or by another's. Spending time doing something unworthwhile, or incorrectly.

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."
