Skerrick

[Nighthawk]

It is apparently from the early 19th century and is english slang for a half-penny. Don't worry, my head is full of useless trivia.

Useless trivia is perfect for filling conversation silences. For example, did you know the worlds smallest tree is the arctic willow, which grows to approximately two inches in height and is a favourite snack of Musk Oxen? I've thrown that one into the odd stale conversation mix before. Doesn't do much, but it gives me the giggles with the 'wait... what?' expressions

it really makes not one iota if a skerrick of the population has heard the word :lol:

I love them both and don't them enough.

Last week marketing did presentaions and they all used the word myriad in their presentations.

SKERRICK is my word for next.

thanks for the idea

And all I can think is that they're seeing a crumb, a skerrick of what it once was

Haha you're welcome jackrabbit


Glad to see I'm not the only one, but when you say the word in your head enough times after someone shows such confusion, you begin to doubt yourself.
