skitter or "to skit." basically, a dumb ass word rednecks made up to describe when you've got to hurry off somewhere fast and unseen. like when you're crouching and
sneaking around, but super fast. usually used when talking about bugs or rabbits or
small shit like that. a close synonym would be like scurry.
