College Weekend 

Longer than your typical weekend, a college weekend starts Thursday afternoon after class and ends Monday afternoon when you wake up from your Sunday Funday hangover. In extreme circumstances, a college weekend can even begin on Wednesday night if there are no papers/exams on Thursday or Friday.
Thursday 3:00pm - Dude 1 "let's hit up the liquor store on our way home from class crack some beers and Start this college weekend out the right way!"
Dude 2 "Hell yeah, let's get wasted before we decided where we're gonna go get wasted tonight, Thirsty Thursday!"

Wednesday night Dude 1 - "Hey man do you have any tests or papers due tomorrow or friday?"
dude 2 "nope, what are you thinkin?"
dude 1 "let's hit the liquor store, pick up a 30 and a bottle, and start a good old extended college weekend!
dude 2 "Fuck yeah!"

The Greatest College Weekend in America

University of Texas at Austin's Round Up Weekend is often called the Greatest College Weekend in America or even the world.

Starting Thursday nights and continuing until Sunday, RoundUp is primarily hosted by greek life with students from around the country visiting West Campus in Austin, buying wrist bands and tickets like any big name music festival (such as local ACL), and waiting in lines that stretch street corners to get into Bar Tabs and Parties alike. The Greatest College Weekend in America sold as many as 15,000 tickets to students in a single year, and all the proceeds go to charities.

The parties and drunken debauchery doesn't stop with some students forgoing sleep (something UT students are very familiar with) to keep the party going. It's common for fraternities to hire big name and up and coming artists to play concerts for their parties. This includes B.O.B., Riff Raff, Shwayze, and Travis Porter. They also commonly get big sponsorships and team up with other greek orgs to afford the events, alcohol, private security, bar tenders, etc.

There is nothing like it at any other college in the world, and there probably never will be.

Headlines and Bylines about it include: "UT's Round Up Will Make You Want To Transfer Schools" and "Weekends come and go, but this is one unlike any other"
Bro-den: Have you see the line to get a band for the ___ Party!?
Bro-seff: Of Course! It goes halfway down Rio.
Bro-den: I have a friend who got me a band and I'm bring my homie from high school
Bro-seff: Did he fly in?
Bro-den: Of course, how could he not!? It's going to be The Greatest College Weekend in America
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.
