          Ah “skosh”…I’m not sure I’ve ever seen it in writing, but my first mentor at my first career job used it all the time. Every amount of distance under a foot (in a structural discipline) was a skosh of some sort.

          Just a bit of a skosh, a slight skosh…a good healthy skosh…

          Brought back a good memory there.

            Fun fact, “skosh” comes from the occupation of Japan after WWII, from Japanese “sukoshi” ‘a little bit’.
