scrump (SKRUMP) - (Eng. dial.) v., to steal (apples) from a garden or orchard.
Department of oddly specific words, though some dictionaries claim it's "especially apples" that's stolen. There's a handful of other even more obscure dialectical meanings, the most relevant being something that's undersized and something that's withered, those being the sort of apples that are left behind to get scrumped. In origin, an alteration of scrimp, from Middle Dutch or Middle Low German.
