Noonein my AOspeaks "jive turkey" either...as that conjures images of racial slants tossed back and forth, if it were pressed further.
Speaks volumes that you cant cypher the meaning of "skookum" and "killitude"........nor put the two in conjunction.
Have something to do with almost hailing from WV...??
Wow.....Must have touched a sore spot! Why do you want to jump up so quick and insinuate that anything from my post heads the racial way??
As for "skookum" and "killitude", I was unable to find either in the Dictionary. I can imagine that I could put a handle on the definition of "killitude" if I had to, but sorry, "
skookum" sounds like something a person may call a housedog.
And as for the WV slur, you probably stepped into it bigtime with that one....
I am not exactly sure of the meaning of
"SKOOKUM". But if I am not mistaken, one of the fellows who discovered gold in the Klondike River region of Yukon Territory which lead to the gold rush of 1898 was a Native American named
"Skookum Jim".......
