Euphemism for "go to strip club and grab tits". Used primarily by people who are trying to be sneaky and not admit they're going to strip clubs.
Origin of euphemism was from an asian man who would periodically go with his friends to Montreal(the capital of strip clubs) and when asked why he was going, he'd reply, "play basketball".
me: "So what are you going to Montreal for?"
ak: "We're just going to play basketball."
me: "You're not going to the strip clubs, I hear they're really good."
ak: "Nope, we're going to play basketball."
me: "ok(thinking to myself, yeah right)"
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."
