nettlesome

Topic or subject which is not easy to discuss/understand. It may also be used in case of an issue from which it is very difficult to draw valid conclusions from, due to its complexity or the lack of expertise on the subject from the speaker, for example.

On the subject of comparing Led Zeppelin and Deep Purple in terms of guitar virtuosity, I think that's a rather nettlesome issue.

Skeef

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."
