Thread Name: Folklore: Childhood words for truanting?
Subject: RE: Folklore: Childhood words for truanting?
In 1950's Lanarkshire, we had 'dogging' for truancy; 'Ring! Bang! Skoosh!', where the "skoosh" was the extra quick exit after the door-knocking; and 'Keys' (with your fists clenched and thumbs in the air) for a truce.
