beginner's luck 

1) When you invite a person to do something that you pride yourself in and they are better at it than you. You usually use this word if you are somewhat of a sore loser.

2) The person who is better at something than your friend even though your new at it can also use this word to be humble and comfort their friend. This definition can be used to show off sometimes.
1) Jeff: "Hey I'm pretty good at this!"

Paige: "Pshhhh, it's just beginner's luck, bro."

2) Molly: "OH DUDE YOU ARE SO AWESOME AT THIS!"

David: "Nah, you're much better. I just have beginner's luck. Its nothing!"

Beginner's Luck 

When you are a beginner at something but you perform like an expert due to "beginner's luck".
When I was throwing a bowling ball at 10 pins and it went to the far left side (thinking I was gonna hit 0) I got dissapointed, but, then all of a sudden it bounced off the left side and hit 9/10 pins! That was epic beginner's luck!

True story.

beginners' luck 

(Idiom) when someone new to the field outclasses the veterans, they will scornfully remark this.
<goatseman>That n00b is killing us off!

<veterankiller> beginners' luck, it'll wear off.
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.
