The male protagonist of any action or science fictionmovie, who is mysteriously competent at everything, seems not to feel pain, and Saves The Lives Of Everyone Ever.
"Wow, I really thought the world was going to end that 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."
