factotum

n. A man who never had a job he liked; and never kept a job he had.

On such jobs a factotum becomes tired. They experience weariness beyond fatigue. They say mad, brilliant things. Out of my head, I cussed and talked and cracked jokes and sang. Hell boils with laughter.

factotumised

Music fan 2: "Which one?"
Music fan 1: "The factotumised one."
Music fan 2: "That was Respect? It sounded nothing like it. Well, apart from the lyrics."

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."
