Tarquinius

When a person conducts themselves in the most exemplary way possible. The person will be very toff-like.
A person rowing across a lake with arms flailing and un-coordinated, would be the opposite of someone executing the action in a tarquinius fashion. A tarquinius rower would not only display exemplary rowing skills, but will also be wearing only the finest attire and will be outstandingly groomed.

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."

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.
