takething

gerund. Taking--but only in the most holy, good, biblical way.

Real citation: "The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away. Sometimes the giveth seems a little disproportionate to the taketh. There seems to be a lot more takething going on, but there it is. Perhaps if more of you attended church on Sundays, the Lord would not have felt it necessary to punish us by takething this little boy."
(Priest Maxi, "Spontaneous Combustion," April 14, 1999, South Park)

Made-up citation: "“If the good lord were takething stuff on The Simpsons, would his holiness be yoinkething as well?”
