feck
1. It was originally a slang term used in Ireland to [mean either] a) "to steal" or b) "to throw".
2. It's also used as a pretty mild swear word in Ireland.
It's used a) to express that [you're pissed] off or b) to describe somebody who pissed you off.
It's not related to the word 'Fuck', and doesn't have any sexual undertones, so is acceptable for polite company.
3. The characters in the sit-com [Father Ted] made the use of 'Feck' more popular outside of Ireland, most noticeably in the United Kingdom.
Unlike what a lot of people think, the scriptwriters did NOT invent 'feck' to get past censors who didn't allow the word 'fuck'. In fact, 'feck' was used as a mild swear word LONG before Father Ted made it famous!

bladesmith
One who smithes (or "[forges]" is you're a [purist]) blades. Which, by the old ways would involve: Heating an [iron rod] to cherry red in a [forge], and hammering into whatever shape you wish your sword to be. Iron is lighter than steel, but doesn't hold an edge as long. So, many times, the bladesmith would turn [the blade] [on edge], and with a hammer and [chisel], would split the edge of the blade [in for a half] [inche] or so, and insert an edge of steel. They would then re-heat the item, and hammer the iron down onto the inserted steel, fusing them together. They would then temper the blade by heating the entire piece to cherry-red, and then [submerging] it in water, or oil. This would harden the blade. However, if left like this the sword would be to hard and brittle to use, and would break opon the first blow. So they would then re-heat the blade to a deep red, and stick it in dry ashes to cool slowly. This would partly anealIn this way, they would [aneal], or soften the metal, while not entirely removing the temper. The would then be hard enough to use in battle, but soft enough, and [springy] enough, that in wouldn't shatter on impact. They would then polish and [sharpen] the blade. In this way [the smiths] would create a sword with a steel edge, but that wieghed much less than a sword of only steel.
The modern way is to: Use a [high-speed] grinder to grind a bar of steel down into the shape of the blade you wish to make, then switch to a finer grinding wheel, and finally a [buffing] wheel to polish. With a [whet] stone, you can then put an edge on it. The modern method isn't nearly as good as the old methods, though. Sword created by this method are really only good as display models. It's a shame that so many of the ancient ways have been lost. In this era, you could spend your whole life studying the art of bladesmithing, and never even come close to the skill level of an apprintice. [The blades] of old could cut through solid stone without scratching the metal. Many of them had edges that where only a few atoms in width, but were strong enough to slice through armor like paper. With the finest, you could hold the sword out in front of you, and a silk cloth dropped on it would be cut cleanly in two, of its own wieght. Smiths were held in the highest regard in the middle ages, placed in the same ranks as the priests and poets. The smith was the only craftsmen to work with all four of the basic elements (for they belived in only four at that time). He used fire in his forge, air in his bellows, to blow the fire hotter, water to [quinch] the metal, and earth, the iron he used. (iron was known as the "black metal," the metal of the earth.)
There are still many people who [blacksmith] and bladesmith as a hobby. (I, am of course, one of them.) It really is a wonderful hobby to take up. Anybody can do it, it just takes a lot of work. (I'm only 15.)
It's a very rewarding and interesting thing to do! Ask around, there's probably a forge near you, that you could use. (Or, you can build your own, like me.)
Good luck!

spoonie
A spoonie is someone living with a chronic illness.
It mostly refers to physical chronic illnesses, though it has been known to be a helpful term for those with chronic mental illness as well.
It originates from Christine Miserandino's Spoon Theory story, in which she explains [what it's like] to live with chronic illness to a friend, and uses a handful of [spoons] to demonstrate.
For example, daily activities that healthy people tend not to think about take tolls on people with chronic illness. You start the day with a certain number of spoons, and play your day around not running out. [Socializing] might cost spoons, using the stairs might cost spoons, lifting things might cost spoons, etc.
