Pigeonpost

A term with two related meanings in online discourse. First, it refers to a form of harasspost where the goal is to pigeonhole a target—forcing them into a rigid, often stigmatized category regardless of their actual positions, and then using that label to dismiss everything they say. The poster repeatedly insists that their target "is really" a fascist, a tankie, a liberal shill, etc., refusing to engage with actual arguments. Second, pigeonpost describes the broader rhetorical tactic of systemic pigeonholing: dismissing complex positions by reducing them to pre‑fabricated, emotionally charged labels. For example, calling support for BRICS or the Global South "National Bolshevism" or "Duginism" to avoid discussing the actual merits of multipolarity, and dismissing any counter‑argument as merely “apologism.” Pigeonpost turns substantive debate into a game of label imposition, where whoever pins the worst label on their opponent first “wins.”
Example: “Every time someone mentioned economic cooperation outside Western institutions, he called it ‘Duginism’—pure pigeonpost, refusing to engage and just trying to tar them with an ugly label.”

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.
