Skrrt is a slang term that was first popularized in the mid 2010s during the boom in the of popularity of Soundcloud rappers. It first started as just a very commonly used
ad-lib amongst rappers to mimic the sound a racecar or sports car makes when it drifts around a corner. But it has since also become quite a popular slang phrase in the
time since then. Now, people also use "skrrt" for things like expressing excitement, saying it as a
joke to refer to getting out of an
awkward or uncomfortable situation quickly, and emphasizing the importance of having to leave for an event immediately. This term, like most other slang terms is most commonly used by millenials and gen-z kids. You won't ever really hear someone from gen-
x or a baby boomer say "skrrt", but if you do you should probably try to make
friends with them because they're more than likely pretty damn
cool.
