Go search who will rock you(Lech hapes me yenaanea otcha!)

This expression comes from Hebrew, when some one is nagging you asking for something you are not willing to give or do, you tell him to take a hike but in more harsh words. The other guy understands that he better not ask the same thing again.

Person A - "Give me another 5$, I will return it later (after he already borrowed 100..."

Person B -"Not in a million years, go search who will rock you!"

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."
