theatre major

Contrary to popular belief, Theatre is a very serious major. BFA students in performance and production work all day, all night, and all weekend to perfect their artforms, and mount shows. It takes balls to be a theare major - particularly an acting major. The average salary of unionized actors is $12 500 a year. You've really gotta love what you do to live in such squalor.

B.A. ENGLISH STUDENT: Hey, you wanna come get drunk tonight?

THEATRE MAJOR: It's Tuesday...

B.A. ENGLISH: Yeah man, I don't have class til 2:30 tomorrow.

THEATRE MAJOR: I have class at 7 am.

B.A. ENGLISH: Huh?!

THEATRE MAJOR: I'm an acting major.

Major you pick when you want to party through college on your daddy's money. Legitimized by the fact that something like 0.01% of theatre majors might get a guest spot as a dead person on CSI.

Theater Major

Some of the most petty people that are on a campus. They’re either really nice or the human equivalent of Satan’s Athletes Foot. Either the best people you will meet, the embodiment of evil, or both. These freaks do nothing but bitch, complain, talk shit, and hang out in the theater like a bunch of vampires. Unless you’re one of them, you don’t see them. It’s an acceptable cult.

“So, what field are you in?”
“Oh, I’m a theater major.”
“GET THEE BEHIND ME, SATAN!”

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.

"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!"

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."

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.

bullshot

n. A screenshot fabricated by a company to misrepresent the graphics of a game; a combination of the words bullshit and screenshot.

-Dude, the Madden 2006 images they showed at E3 were bullshots. It doesn't look nearly as good as they said.
