kneecapping 

The act of permanently destroying someone’s kneecaps. Often done with a firearm (as popularised in film and television), a baseball bat or lead pipe or other blunt instrument, or a power drill (often used in conjunction with a countersunk drill bit and popular with the IRA).
When the police heard the screaming, they knew that Shamus had been on the wrong end of an IRA kneecapping.

"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."
