s-key-it

or

schkeeeet

Sket.. rhymes with get, met.
Obviously it might be pronounced differently over in Norn Iron because of the accent, but it's English slang and that's how it's said here

It's just another word for a slag/slapper/whore.

Didn't know it wasn't used in Ireland

skeet skeet motherfúckers!

Don't listen to Overheal, he only speaks Americano.

OK, It might be skeet there. Here, it's definitely spelt and pronounced sket :P

You're trying to argue with West Coast America about West Coast American slang? Have fun with that.

Then again you are the ingrates who coined the term "'Shcatther lads!" :pac:

When in doubt, look it up in the dictionary and check the spoken audio.

Sket is the short form of "skettel" which is Jamaican street argot for a woman of questionable sexual virtue.

Two amazingly similar words that mean the same thing... I hate language

artanevilla · 26-10-2009 9:54pm

I pronounce it "skeet".

Pherekydes · 26-10-2009 11:30pm

The 's' is silent, as in precis, the 'k' is silent as in knock (the first one), the two 'e's are silent as in France, so it's just pronounced 't' as in nation.

So now you know.

tim0ney · 26-10-2009 11:45pm

It's skeeeet.

Don't tell me Lil' John and Chris Rock are wrong!!

I've always heard it pronounced "sket" or "skehh" in Laois.
I prefer to say "schkeeee".

ride-the-spiral · 26-10-2009 11:57pm

I beleive it's pronounced "pronunciation"
