"Static electricity" is more accurately referred to as "static charge".

Yes, of course you can. you just rub 2 good insulators together (plastic is recommended) and use it to pick up small bits of paper. static is electricity that doesn't move in a current.

Or, run a plastic comb through your hair. It will take on a static charge.
