    Graaien could be clutch, claw, scrabble, grasp, or snatch, maybe?

        I usually associate yoink with playfully stealing something, whereas graaien in this context refers more to behaviour seen in landlords and high level executives. You know, the kinds of people that are so far up their shareholder’s butts that they can’t see the damage they’re causing.

        Let’s just reserve yoink for stealing each other’s hoodies and similar endearing behaviour.
