Talk:Skell

Article says "In its modern form, the use of skell as a slang term in the United States appears to date only from the 1970s".

From the novel Last Exit to Broolyn (1964) "She didnt need any goddamn skell to buy her a drink. She could get anything she wanted in Willies" — Preceding unsigned comment added by 142.177.47.111 (talk) 18:07, 6 January 2013 (UTC)

I've literally never heard this used in New York City. However, I've frequently heard e.g. bodega, schmuck, bubkes, on line, etc. Is this term (skel) restricted to a particular cultural group? --Alex Hajnal (talk) 11:56, 21 September 2023 (UTC)
