I believe steptalks definition of SKIDS is an abbreviation of StepKIDS. I found a few much better definitions that many smoms here can relate to. I occasionally call my steps SKIDS in conversation with DH but it goes over his head.

I particularly like the ending SAY NO TO SKIDS. ..This is from Urban Dictionary:

 skid

Typically someone with notably poor hygiene habits, wearing shirts advertising for bands such as Slipknot, with a distinct odor, who smokes a good deal of marijuana, especially marijuana borrowed from others

Skid

a person who is a skid mark on the underpants of society, hindering, rather than contributing, to it's advancement.

skid

Skid: (n.) A skid is technically a person who lives on the margins of society an shuns normal social contact

Skid

Those greasy kids who always come and trash "normal people parties". Often involved with drugs and alcohol and mainly cigarettes. The first step to being a skid is denying the fact you are actually one. The average skid has financial problems and possibly has no parents (which could contribute to skid behavior and lack of parenting). Majority of the skids take public transit or find strange places to hang out at late hours of the night lurking the streets. School is not something a skid enjoys so they either attend under the influence or not at all. The male attire of a skid often includes: white wife beaters or baggy jerseys, with baggy jeans and fake ed hardy. The female attire of a skid often includes: either dressing very slutty/unclassy or dressing very sloppy with dresses that barely pass your ass cheeks or ripped sweatpants with dirty stains all over them and skater shoes. Skids also struggle with hygiene and keep themselves clean. They are one step up from a hobo and like to steal things for money. Skids seem rebellious and wanting to start unnecessary fights, have troubles finding jobs since they are all street rats. Skids tend to travel in packs of 5-6 and carry many STI's. SAY NO TO SKIDS
