Is this a southern term Or a African American term for skinned?
I always thought only blacks said skint but I noticed a few southern people who I
Picture white say skint? Just curious. Is it like the term aksed or asked

I know its used in brittish slang

Us older hillbillies say skint but the young generation doesn’t say it much.

Im Caucasian and southern and have used the term skint but never axed for asked

Common here too.

I might say it, but if I type it out I type skinned. And I do know what an axe is and used for. It’s not a question, lol.

I know Don't axe' me......drives me nuts

Furbuyer here uses skun a lot.

I sure wish the beaver layin in the shed were skint but I reckon I'll get to it tomorrow.
I'm southern and cracker colored.

Yep. " I'm skint " / " I have no money left ".

No idea how it may be used on your side? Bit more context, maybe?

skint or skun use em both at times

I grew up in the UP and in my house skunt was the same as skinned.

Don't in hills of southern Ohio and West Virginia I use to hear it all of the time.\\

Garry-

We said skint in western NY when I was a kid. So I think it's more rural than southern.

"I caught 2 coon today!"

"Didya skinnum?"

"yes, they're skint."

Also: Creek is pronounced "crick"

"I caught 'em down at the little crick!"

Crick is what a creek starts out as.

Creek is the sound rusty door hinges make.

Nope, that's creak. Creek is a small moving body of water, which some people call cricks.

Isn't english, and especially regional dialects, interesting?

Have only ever heard the Skint Thang :-) from southern folks. Here in WI I have heard and used the word Skun.. As in we got them all Skun out.
