Retro Revival 

A new movement of bands from 2001 on up playing rock music that has the feel of music from the 60s and 70s. Older bands that have had influences on Retro Rock musicians include but are not limited to:
The Who (usually a major influence)
The Beatles
Jimi Hendrix
The Ramones
Led Zeppelin
Retro Rockers usually act and dress like the 1960 mods. The composition of retro style music isn't just roots 5th chords and senseless uneducated nonsense (which are primary features of the retro subgenre "garage rock") they usually try to show off some musical maturity by letting the lead guitar show of his/her chops.
Members of the retro revival movement include:
The Strokes
The Vines
The Rapture
The Verve
The Blue Van
The Hives
Blurr &
The Deep Grey

Retro Revival 

A group of musicians from as early as 2001 until the present. Commonly swing guitar brands such as Rickenbacker, in both guitar and bass. Dress like twat wannabe 50's bands. Watch as they play live and struggle to play their instruments and look up at the audience at the same time. Many 'muso' wannabe's listen to Retro Revival, such as Henry Bilinsky. Band's are often formed by eastern suburb private school boys, and in turn a garage band is born and thus coined "retro revival". RR bands are a favourite at various Sydney gay clubs.

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.
