surstromming

Fermented Baltic herring. Purported by some (but by no means all) Swedes to be a highly-prized delicacy. Asserted by everyone else to be rotten fish in a can.

My bro is in hospital after he tried to eat that can of surstromming. I hope he makes it!

Do NOT even smell Surstromming if you can't handle vomiting or at least gagging.

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."

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
