vegan conversion ceremony 

This is when one person has chosen the noble and delicious path of veganism for themselves, but refuses to keep this amazing secret to themselves and thrusts their food choices on others whenever they have a captive audience, such as when you are invited to their home for a meal or even a special event. The masterstroke is when you offer to bring non-vegan food so that 100% of the other people attending can have a choice, the vegan's conversion ceremony will not be disrupted, so there shall be no non-vegan food welcomed at all. The double masterstroke is when you ask "what can I bring?", the answer is a vegan dessert, even though you could not possibly bring your favorite vegan dessert from any familiar place since you have never ordered a vegan dessert in your life!

When you arrive, the noble vegan will use familiar words, such as butter, cheese, meatloaf, chicken; no they are not taunting you. None of these items are anywhere in sight and none will be served. Your host may be performing a "vegan conversion ceremony".
I just attended a vegan conversion ceremony on Thanksgiving where the vegan host repeatedly extolled the virtues and joys of being vegan, while not permitting any non vegan food in the home (despite non vegan food being permitted on any other day), where they served only meat, butter, and cheese replacements to a room full of known and committed carnivores.

I just went to a vegan conversion ceremony on Thanksgiving, where we heard a lot about the joys of being vegan from the vegan host that served only meat, butter, and cheese replacements to themselves and a room full of straight up carnivore people the host has known for at least thirty years despite never once hearing even a fleeting interest from any of them in vegan food. No non-vegan food was permitted.

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.

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

Originated from Penny Arcade, a popular gaming webcomic.
-Have you seen Madden 2006 for the Xbox 360? The graphics are gonna be awesome!
-Dude, the Madden 2006 images they showed at E3 were bullshots. It doesn't look nearly as good as they said.
