the Political Underdog Squad 

abbreviation: P.U.S.; The only members of the U.S. Congress to belong to nonmainstream political parties or registered as independent for a long period of time between 1971- 2021. They are Representative James Stanton, Senator Bernard Sanders, Senator Angus King Jr., Senator James Jeffords, Delegate Victor Frazer, Resident Commissioner Baltasar Corrada, Senator Harry Byrd Jr., Senator Dean M. Barkley, and Representative Justin Amash. All of them were independent, but Justin Amash changed to a Libertarian during his last year in office due to the barrage of partisan bickering from the Republicans and Democrats, which he was the first Libertarian to have held a seat in congress.
Why does the Political Underdog Squad matter so much? Because these politicians are the only politicians in Congress, over a fifty year period, be members nonmainstream political parties, which helps to keep the two mainstream parties in check.

the underdog favorite 

the underdog favorite - an oxymoron that describes a person, or group of people that are expected to win an event simply because they have gained popularity by being a surprise contestant.

For example:
The Indianapolis Colts became the underdog favorite to win the Superbowl after defeating two heavily favoured opponents to become AFC champions.
Jennifer Hudson was kicked off of American Idol, but when on to act in "Dreamgirls" and eventually became the underdog favorite to win the award for Best Supporting Actress.

the underdog 

you're sitting on the couch eating a bowl of pop corn and watching star wars and your spouse comes running in front of you with a cape and assless chaps on and releases explosive diahrea's on your face...then your partner runs away screaming ,"UP UP AND AWAAAAY!!!!"
"oh shit my wife just gave me the underdog ...WHILE I WAS WATCHING CONAN!!!...then she flew away like a boy wonder!!!"

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."
