hit the skids

To rapidly slow down or stop a moving vehicle by mashing down the brake pedal. So named because of the tires skidding when done in a car without anti-lock brakes.

Can also be used in a metaphorical sense, in which it means to halt whatever action or process is currently occurring.

The police were waiting with a speed trap around the bend, so I hit the skids.

skids

A game played at (usually) all-boys schools in the UK. Players have to pretend to strain as if pooing - the aim to create a skid mark on the trolleys. The loser shits himself - no, in fact all of the players are losers...

A: Fancy a game of skids...
B: OK
A&B: Ngg-mgg (straining noise)
C,D,E, etc: Eughh you've shit yourself!

skids

skid row. Can be used to mean the "underground" scene of a city or any and all things that aren't shopping malls and picket fences.
