understaffed 

Today the term understaffed goes ungracefully like a punch in the gut, with "T H E C O V I D" --attempting to play among or prey upon society for an eternity or as soon as y'all flip the switch, channel or station to something else which is likely to miss the mark as well--as an excuse for nonperformance. However, in days of better health or saner health, which in truth were not many and did not last long, it would mean 'everyone is on vacation' or frankly, "they just won't work" and that would be presented in various degrees of panic, sadness and sometimes despair as an attempt to apologize for a lack of service or what may seem more like fraud or default for not following through with what was offered, promised, sold, bought, etcetera.

The term understaffed is quickly becoming antiquated along with other socially accepted niceties, etiquette or protocol and now more than not people do or say ABSOLUTELY NOTHING figuring that most people will get tired of waiting, let it go and regain their composure enough to carry on. However, only remotely amusing only if this is a live interpersonal interaction and one gets to critically assess or admire random tattoos, body piercings, hair or lack of same and other charming, yet oddly impressive hoo-doo voo-do accessories long enough to consider aspects of their momentary significance or importance.

Understated Pop-Cult Aesthetic 

A form of Aesthetic involving the subtle hints or images associated to a certain piece of pop culture, such as Star Wars, Anime, Game of Thrones, etc. The idea is for it to be visually pleasing to anyone, yet only those who also have observed the source material understand the meaning, if there is any meaning to that particular piece.
"Oh, cool Canti T-shirt! I almost missed it, it's got that Understated Pop-cult aesthetic. Where'd you get it?"

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.
