self reliance 

Self reliance is an art

its when you can survive on your own without help

it makes you feel good about yourself
"Hey man how you been"
"great just spent a week in the forest with only a knife, I killed a deer ate its meet raw and used its hide and carcass as shelter and clothes. Then I had to fend of a bear with my barehands"

"dude thats awesome, you need some major self reliance for that, It also explains the missing arm."

self relient 

The act of being able to cover your previous prevarications effectively with new untruths that support the orginal ones in question well enough such that they will no longer be suspect.
Our son has such a great future ahead of him. He is so self relient.

Self reliance 

Something the Chinese government doesn't believe in.
Communist China doesn't believe in self reliance because they don't let their citizens choose how to earn their own money.
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."

Hair spider

A tight, tangled knot of loose hair and lint that forms inside clothing during the clothes dryer cycle. It typically hides inside garments, causing an annoying lump or a phantom tickling sensation against the skin until it is found or falls out onto the floor during folding.
I was folding my clothes and a huge hair spider fell out onto my hand

n. A screenshot fabricated by a company to misrepresent the graphics of a game; a combination of the words bullshit and screenshot.

Originated from Penny Arcade, a popular gaming webcomic.
-Have you seen Madden 2006 for the Xbox 360? The graphics are gonna be awesome!
-Dude, the Madden 2006 images they showed at E3 were bullshots. It doesn't look nearly as good as they said.
