Telescammer 

A telescammer is someone who will call you constantly, claiming to be from big companies (such as the Microsoft, tax office, your ISP or bank, etc) in the hopes of tricking you into divulging your personal details such as bank numbers, social security numbers or tax file numbers - which they will often use to steal money or set up accounts in your name. Many of these telescammers run out of Indian call centres.
"Ugh I am so sick of these telescammers, calling daily and saying they are from Microsoft and want to fix my PC".

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.

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.
