Robinson Caruso

Da famous shipwrecked sailor who went on to become an equally-famous opera singer.

I wonder if all of da "crude but super-nutritious" harvested-from-da-wild food dat Robinson Caruso dined upon during his long years on da deserted island was what boosted his health to da point dat he could sing so beautifully once he'd been rescued and gotten back to civilization?

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."
