"...but I don't have a lathe."
Tech Support wrote Is a "scooch" the same as when us Irish say "A Wee Bit"? Whoooah, there. I think not! The only time I've heard "a wee bit" was as in " I'll take a wee bit of the spirit for my cup here, if ye please!" In that case, I believe that did NOT mean a scooch! g -- Jim in NC

"...but I don't have a lathe."
"Skosh" is the pidgen English derivation of the Japanese "sukoshi", which
means "just a little bit" or "a small portion". Jim -- "It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it." --Aristotle "Morgans" wrote in message ...

Metric or imperial skosh? This has been one of the most instructive threads ever, round here. Thanks to all! Next time at the bar of my local airport I will definitely sound like the expert I always knew myself to be. And my next homebuilt project will fly like a - ehhm what was it - scroodge? scurge? scgodre? sgootsh?

Flying terms starting with "sc" include scuzzy which refers to as unclean and thus draggy or poor handling. Not to be confused with a scuzzy pilot. Dan, U.S. Air Force, retired
