Am I the only person who hates the word "skit" ? Page 2

A skit is something a group of Oxbridge students would put on for their chums.

Haha - agreed. I don't like the word.

No that's a skitch my dear.

That would be the main focus of the skit.

A one on one skit.

I'm honestly not bothered either way Griff and there doesn't seem to be any difference between a sketch and a skit in the online dictionary either.

It's interesting that 'skit' is 'sketch' in Dutch, German and Swedish:

When I say interesting...

I agree. Horrible word. Can we have it banned and add it to the forum rules?

You can't have a skit show - there's a difference.

Genius pun, made the whole thread worth while

I found sketch pretensious, like asking a girl to see your etchings. As oposed to your bedroom ceiling.

It's 2 letters shorter than sketch, all that typing saved adds up to maybe a whole new skit a day.

It's the same reason I try and stick to 3 letter names.

As I am the only person who uses the word skit.

Should I take this personally?

What ever next? Banning anyone named after a magical hand puppet with an additional letter?

I suppose it's better than scat.

What? I don't know of anyone who is called Nookie Beard on this forum

That is a disgusting but wonderful pun.

I don't know if you are aware of this, but last night there was a repeated of a BBC 7 sketch show called "No Tomatoes", in which the last sketch was about the word "Skit" undergoing surgery to become an adjective.

No one is seriously suggesting you should be banned for using it. (There are so many much better reasons...)

Haha!

Robyn, scat means...no I can't do it. Just don't google it with the safe search off.

I'm really far too scared to.
