drowning in the baby pool

To spend time wallowing in misery over trivial, materialistic, and superficial matters. The baby pool is never deep.

Casandra: What's wrong with Belinda? I texted her and she sent back all tearful emoji's.
Carrie: She saw that Brenda posted about her new finery shoes and that Brenda got more likes than she did when she posted about her new sandals.
Cassandra: So she's drowning in the baby pool again? I should have known. Just for that I'm liking Brenda's shoes!!!

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."
