Bostonese 

A term collectively used by the fans of New Kids on the Block to describe the NKOTB members' accents when they speak. Being from Boston, the band members have distinct accents that the fans have embraced and even mimic to an extent.

Practically any word ending in (-er) or (-ar) can be translated into Bostonese by replacing the suffix with (-ah), such as in "glittah" "sweah" or "bettah."
Bostonese: Joey Mac bettah be tweeting on Twittah tonight, or I sweah I might have a heart attack!

Plain English: Joey Mac better be tweeting on Twitter tonight, or I swear I might have a heart attack!

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.

n. A screenshot fabricated by a company to misrepresent the graphics of a game; a combination of the words bullshit and screenshot.

-Dude, the Madden 2006 images they showed at E3 were bullshots. It doesn't look nearly as good as they said.
