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.
