my favorite HS science teacher used the term all the time to mean just a smidge, a tiny bit. I think it is probably a yiddish term.
Well then, how do I look?
'cause I sure feel smarter.
It seems I suck.

Was your HS science teacher a serviceman? It's not Yiddish, it's Japanese from "skoshi," meaning a small amount. It was brought into the US by servicemen who served in the far east, particularly during the occupation after WWII. I first heard it as an adolescent living in Japan in 1958 and then again when I went on my first WESPAC deployment in 1967. http://www.answers.com/topic/skoshi I highly doubt he was a serviceman, his dad might have been tho.
