Get the safecore mug.
safecore
Safecore is a relatively new term, most commonly used as a pejorative word to describe the sound of metal artists who frequently abuse breakdowns, electronic synthesizers, and heavily-modified singing to accompany screamed vocals which are typically easier to understand than more "brutal" techniques. Safecore bands tend to follow fashion trends and design trends, such as using a catchy typographical lyric video in their uploads, or branding the current popular logo style on their albums. Safecore bands are normally frowned upon by the majority of other metalheads.
"Dude! Did you hear that new Capture The Crown band? They sound a lot like Asking Alexandria."
— Typical safecore fan
"Nah, dude, that stuff is ridiculous. I don't listen to safecore. I'd much rather jam to some nice unique progressive metal."

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."
