Taken from the Manx (Isle of Man) for "News", "Gossip", or "Peek". 'Skeet' mean to have a nosey into
something, either somebody elses
business, or anything else that requires you to "look".
The term can also mean "deal" or "
business".
"Alright there yessir? Got any skeet?"
Hello there my
friend, have you heard any gossip recently?
"Just gna take a skeet out the window"
I'm going to have a look out the window,
maybe there are some
scally fights worth watching.
"So there fella, whats the skeet here?"
So what's the deal with this then mate?
(Man takes out a newspaper) "Just reading the skeet.."
I'm just reading the news.
