Lola!!!
Are you doubting my ability with words?? Shame on you.!
From the Concise Oxford Dictionary, which is what I have to hand:
1. To split or pare.
2. To evade a duty.
Skive off - to depart evasively.
It's more an English slang expression - it's what you're doing is you're posting here during work hours!
Margo,
I wasn't doubting your fine vocabulary at all, I was doubting mine. I can see how it sounded that way though. I was just mustering courage to admit I didn't know a word. I actually think of severl equivilents slang expressions that I know very well, but I'll restrain myself.
