Cash to Task 

To carry an amount of money necessary to accomplish a task as per a previous quote. Used as a defense and safety mechanism against upselling or against people misrepresenting the cost of a particular good or service.

Often used with escorts or sex workers to prevent on the spot bartering for services.

In the example below, the Mark inquires about rates, he gets an answer and signals to the Provider his disinterest in bartering when they meet. He says he will only bring enough cash to cover the quoted price, so if the Provider has additional services available, he should know about them in advance. The Provider can then quote an upgrade program (as seen somewhat ambiguously below) or point the mark to another resource. Ideally, a detailed online resource is best for avoiding incriminating dialog, hence the terse nature of the discussion. The Mark is dissatisfied with the answer knowing that some providers may scale rapidly from $50 to as much as $2000 for a particular interest.

Nota bene: Cash to Task is a safety precaution for both parties. Carrying excess cash can increase tension and draw unwanted attention from parties not intended to be involved in the transaction.

Note bene 2: Cash to Task does NOT excuse you from an appropriate tip. It just means don't try and be a hot-shot by carrying a stupidly excessive and dangerous amount of money where it's not needed. Take care of your Provider (employee, server, waiter, waitress, etc.) and they should take care of you.
Mark: I'd like to meet tomorrow evening. What's your incall availability and rate like?

Provider: 250 an hour, 175 for half.

Mark: I carry cash to task. Let me know if there are upgrades available.

Provider: upgrades start at 50 and go from there...

Mark: Thanks for your time.

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.
