Faker: "Phoenix it."
Huni: "Hey, thanks - That fixed it"

My Chrome browser stopped working, so I had to phoenix it.

giving in to the phoenix

Its basically when a person is dating someone but still likes their old crush/ex.

As for background info, in the book Tiger's Destiny by Colleen Houck, the main female character has to admit that she still loves the older brother even though she's betrothed to the younger brother. She does this while walking on coals in a phoenix's realm deep in the ground while the phoenix was watching, asking difficult personal questions. She gave in to the phoenix when she proffessed her love for the older brother. Unfortunately, he thought she died, but she actually was restored to full health and taken to the phoenix's home on the mountain. That shouldn't happen to you when you give in to the phoenix though.

After the girlfriend had been hanging out with her ex all day and realised she still likes him. She proceeds to flirt-

Girlfriend -"hey, I wanted to let you know... I'm giving in to the phoenix."
Ex-boyfriend -"what does that mean? That's totally random."
girlfriend -"go read tiger's destiny."

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."
