twenty percenter 

A person that has 80% of their head up their ass... Often used on the road to refer to people driving on I476 or I76 in the Philadelphia region because of their lack of ability to merge onto a moving highway. Also used to describe all of New Jersey's drivers... They cause traffic jams because they apply the brakes instead of gas when trying to merge onto a fast moving highway thus causing accidents, or making everyone stop causing a chain reaction traffic jam that doesn't end until sometime around 7:30pm... These roads would otherwise be clear if these people had the ability to access the other 80%.

Also used to describe everyone that drives to the beach on late friday afternoons during rush hour.
Driver in front: "Hey, look at me. I think I'm a safe driver because I go 35MPH to merge onto a highway that has an average speed of 75MPH!"

Smart Driver stuck behind: "What a fucking twenty percenter. Now none of us can merge smoothly."

A term used within British political circles, Twenty Percenters is applied to the portion of the population that will accept any lie you decide to tell them, which is roughly around 20%. Twenty Percenters believe in things like global warming and the urgent need to restrict freedom of speech. Twenty Percenters are characterised by lack of imagination and display frequent cognitive dissonance. They also lack any ability to confront authority in a material sense but may compensate for their lack of volition through symbolic action such as: affiliating themselves with an impotent political group, subscribing to eclectic political journals, writing protest poetry/songs, macramé and pressing wild flowers.
We've got the Twenty Percenters on board but what can we do convince the rest of electorate that raising duty on fuel will save the planet?

twenty percent battery 

When a girl wants to finger herself, but is wearing tampon, so she can only get her finger in a little bit, resulting in what looks like a battery that has twenty percent left
Brook: I wish i didnt have a twenty percent battery right now. Goshdarnit.

twenty-seven percenters 

1. People either genuinely crazy or so woefully misinformed about how the world works, the bases for their decision making is so flawed they may as well be crazy.
2. People with a worldview which lead them to disagree with what you consider rationality even though they arrive at their positions through rational means.
3. See also birther
Obama vs. Alan Keyes is proof. Keyes was from out of state, so you can eliminate any established political base; both candidates were black, so you can factor out racism; and Keyes was plainly, obviously, completely crazy. Batshit crazy. Head-trauma crazy. But the twenty-seven percenters in Illinois voted for him. They put party identification, personal prejudice, whatever ahead of rational judgement. Hell, even like 5% of Democrats voted for him. That's crazy behaviour. I think you have to assume a 27% Crazification Factor in any population.

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!"
