snaffled
Took for oneself
Snaffled is the past tense of snaffle, meaning to grab or take something quickly, often in a slightly sneaky or opportunistic way: Someone snaffled the last slice of pizza before I could get to it.
The word is informal and mainly British, suggesting casual appropriation rather than serious theft.
