to crucify 

verb : (to)

to lay off your workers, for no specific reason other than the fact that you decide to move your company overseas.

N.B: not to be confused with either the crucifixion, a method of capital punishment in the Roman Empire, or The Crucifixion -of Jesus-but this is just as painful in the modern capitalist world.
Emily (adressing her boyfriend): Carl, remember I told you my boss was thinking about firing me? Well now he finally succeeded. I finally learned the reason; it's not just me he is firing, it's everyone. He's going to crucify the entire staff.

Carl: Oh, the bastard. If he is going to crucify all his staff like that, and other companies follow suit, guess what?, the laid off workers around The United States might start an American Communist Revolution.

to crucify 

to lay off your workers, for no specific reason other than the fact that you decide to move your company overseas, even in times of economic prosperity.
Emily (adressing her boyfriend): Carl, remember I told you my boss was going to crucify me? Well now he finally succeeded. My company is moving overseas. I think we will have to move into the basement of your dad's country place, we can't afford the rent here in the city.

Carl: Listen sweetie, Emily. I am a Martian, and therefore have a solution for you. I was going to pimp you out to my company's secretary and and her rich bastard husband as a cleaning lady, a Cinderella of sorts. Dunno if you'd agree though. Emily (shrieking): how dare you???. Im, as a Venusian, I think I deserve better.

Carl: Well. I don't get on that well with my dad anyways, and, besides, it's better than living in the basement of his country place, like some rats.

Emily: well, in that case, if you want me to be a commodity to pimp out I reserve the right to pimp you out as well, roflmfao. (starts yelling at Carl): go work in construction, or whatever, now. I want you to nigger, before hitting the sauce

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."

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.
I was folding my clothes and a huge hair spider fell out onto my hand
