Yes. But I think you add a smidge of something to your recipe, while you move over a skosh to make room on the couch.
To: SoothingDave
Ah, but a smidge and a skosh are still just a bissel.
To: SoothingDave
My dad was a fantastic cook for all things asian, except kimchee, and was good at using just a skosh of soy sauce, something I’m not so good at, i always use what many consider way too much.

Obama slinks leftward a skosh
(No surprise here that leftward means gauche)
“I’ll lead from the middle”
Then he moves left a little
He’s a Muslim, so he’s strictly not Kosh’

LOL...another great pun...mixing a Yiddish word for “a little bit” with an American Brand name. I WONDER if they are somehow related?
