Interesting from a Japanese root. I would have thought Yiddish.

I wasn’t very hungry, so I just had a kosher skosh nosh.

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’

[secret garden]

From diversity chief to total incompetent, more proof that anything/anyone associated with obama is more than a skosh of a failure.

Doesn’t every Polak have an Uncle Skosh? Or, is that Uncle Stosh?

[Diogenesis]

At the end of four years, it can have been said,
daily, weekly, annually, that the tyrant Barack Hussein Obama
has had not a skosh of documentation OR concern
for either the American people OR the US Constitution.

"There is scarce a king in a hundred who would not, if he could, follow the example of Pharaoh - get first all the people's money, then their lands, and then make them and their children servants forever. It will be said that we do not propose to establish kings. I know it. But there is a natural inclination in mankind to kingly government. It sometimes
relieves them from aristocratic domination. They had rather have one tyrant than 500. It gives more the appearance of equality among citizens, and that they like.
I am apprehensive - therefore - perhaps too apprehensive - that the government of these States may in future times end in a monarchy [not called a monarchy but an executive with monarchial powers]. But this catastrophe, I think, may long be delayed, if in our proposed system we do not sow the seeds of contention, faction and tumult, by making our posts of honor places of profit. If we do, I fear that, though we employ at first a number and not a single person, the number will in time be set aside, it will only nourish the fetus of a king (as the honorable gentleman from Virginia very aptly expressed it), and a king will the sooner be set over us."

-- Benjamin Franklin

Thought I’d add to this just a “might”.

[Texan5]

I remember that word from my childhood...

I bought some gas yesterday
To fund work and errands too-
When I saw the price of it
I hardly believed it was true

It is only a skosh more money
Than last week, truth be told-
But for now, every penny counts
And each dollar is like gold

Carter #Deux says drilling won’t work-
Like the first one, he won’t budge
He should just shut up and do it
Then let our wallets be the judge...
