Off the nose 

Basically a term used by skateboarders that replaced off the hook, off the chain and that group of sayings. It refers to something being off the hook, but I guess off the nose cause its funny and cause that means nollie, and nollie is dope on a skateboard...
He broke his tail, put it back together, and backside 5-0'd the 14 stair hubba... it was off the nose! (although in this case literally)

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."
