A profawk is a portmanteau word, blending the words "professional" and "fohawk". It is a name given to a men's hairstyle that allows the individual to wear it professionally, in a more conservative and business-like atmosphere but also allows the professional to wear it in an edgy and voguish style outside the office.
I saw a lot of guys sporting profawks at the Young Professional's Organization mixer last Thursday.

A faux hawk for working professionals. A prohawk is an office-ready version of the famous faux hawk haircut. Where a faux hawk, "...resembles the mohawk when styled but can also, if desired, appear to be a conventional male haircut," the prohawk's mohawk roots are virtually undetectable during business hours but can be styled to achieve faux hawk status for recreational purposes.
Chad: Wow, I couldn't tell you had a faux hawk during work today.

Cody: I know, it's a prohawk...just put it up in the bathroom.

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."
