Civic Duty 

The obligation of a citizen to their community: to be held captive by the judicial system at a wage rate that covers a gas station burrito and some old fried coffee for some incident that does not concern you or anyone on the group call list. To forego all potential income for said day/week/period of time to appear in court. To sit in the busiest time of traffic on a specified weekday in order to avoid a bench warrant. To put one's responsibilities and prior obligations on hold and pretend to give a shit about being unbiased and objective.
Tom: Fuck jury duty bro, I don't have time for that.
Rick: Dude, it isn't that bad and besides it's your civic duty.
Tom: You can eat a fork, Rick.
Rick: O_____O

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.
