‘Can there exist, in principle, a proper beginning to any story at all? Isn’t there always, without exception, a latent beginning-before-the-beginning?’
Amos Oz
Hey, we used to say "Skill!" too! I'd forgotten that one. Did either of you ever yell "Stub!" at people, meaning ha ha, that's shut you up/shown you etc. You'd do a mime of a cigarette being stubbed out. And if you were really jubilant, you might shout "stubberATION!!"
And yes, my comment was written after a quick look at the dictionary. That stubs me out ;)

So when we were yelling Ya Beauty! you were yelling Skill! :)
Yes, I'm afraid so.

I love Stub! - it is *so* condescending. I also recall if you bumped into someone and said Sorry, they'd reply, Aye, you will be.
