Skosh is derived from the Japanese word “skoshi.”

As an adolescent, I lived in Taiwan for two years when my Father was stationed there. We lived a skosh north of Taipei in the village of Shantzehou, Yangmingshan atop what was colloqiually known as Grass Mountain. Across the main road from us was the Naval Auxiliary Communications Commannd, a CIA front. The Gimo's summer residence was located a couple miles above us. Summer weekends the entire road from Taipei up to his digs was lined by soldiers at intervals of a few yards.

All this is brought to mindby the bing.com wallpaper from aearlier this week:

America demands Justice for the Fallen of Benghazi!

Genuflectimus non ad principem sed ad Principem Pacis!

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

Obama can't dance, not a skosh
Besides being "Left," he's quite gauche.
He lacks many a skill,
Yet he'll probably kill
The American dream - that's no sh__
