Skive Diving

The action of tripping or otherwise stumbling while running in an attempt to skive off work or avoid someone who will confront you about said skiving, ending up on the floor.

Yeah, he tripped right over the rug and faceplanted running. That's dedication to skive diving.

skitey

Slippery. A dodgy person

Common in Scotland.

"He's a skitey wee thing." "Serves you right for being skitey". "I don't wish to sound skitey, but ..." "She is a skitey eyed cow."

In the context of the weather, in place of slippery, you might say "watch out outside, its a bit skitey".

skive

Doing anything but that which you are supposed to be doing during a specific time frame.

E.G Pretending to do something for which you are being payed for, such as a your job, but instead doing other things (like having a laugh, phoning your friends, hiding from your boss, surfing the internet, playing computer games, having a sly cigarette) that are totally unrelated or unconected to that which is within your job description.

Taking 2 hours for lunch instead of 1 and getting a collegue to cover for you.

Leaving work earlier than you should, and hoping your boss doesn't notice.

Calling in sick to work, then going out for an all day pub crawl.
