Vinylhaven 

A small Coastal-Maine town where phonograph records are made.
After successfully stocking up on crisp new yellow hexagonal No. 2's in Pencilvania, I headed on up the coast to Vinylhaven to pick up some oldies on LP. Town Manager Susan Lessard was certainly very pleasant and welcoming when I eagerly breezed into her office at the town hall, but then when I asked for directions to the nearest records-stamping plant, she just gave me a puzzled look like she didn't even have a clue what I was talking about ("Well, sorry to disappoint you, Sir, but all of our new-product vendors switched to CDs years ago"), then smilingly suggested that I check out their local thrift shops for a broad selection of nice pre-owned albums.

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."
