Take-out Tower

A take out tower is when your roommate orders out every day but also loves their food so much that they save it for weeks on end in a 6x6in square within the fridge. Also, though, it implies that there are other items in the fridge that are taking up space because your roommate is so organized and cleanly. The roomate utilizes just a 6x6in square for all the take out that they have ordered and saved for a later day to have their roommate throw it away.
"When you have several takeout orders stacked on top of one another, preceding the most recent order, you have a 'Take-out Tower.'

If you ever encounter a 'Take-out Tower,' make sure the foundation of the tower is a pizza box or a taco bowl, crowned with a Burger King bag. If you or your roommate have your 'Take-out Tower' in reverse order, the builder of the tower will ultimately scoff when it collapses and then blame their non-offending, non-Take-out Tower-building roommate.

Take-out towers are a kind of flex because you can afford to build such a tower."

Kind of like the game "Jenga" but only one player. But every roommate, by use of the fridge, is forced to play.

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.
