kid pro quo

Buying something you don't want or need from a co-worker or friend's kid, hoping to build karma for the next time your kid is selling something.

You: Why on earth did you buy 20 boxes of thin mints!?!
Me: Kid pro quo: Joe's daughter is a girl scout - and you know Billy's school has a fund raiser this fall.

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."
