Hot Pursuit 

Commonly referring to an ongoing car chase, usually with the format of one criminal car and a swarm of police cars. In movies, the typical norm would be that the criminal will most likely use a fast sportscar while the police are stuck using Ford Crown Victorias. The term was also used for the very popular Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit, Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit 2, and Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit (2010).

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.
