Me too (as to bel's post re "scoot", and Angel's re "scooch"). Has anyone heard "scoatch" (long-o sound) used as a noun to mean that small bit of space you move, as in, "Scoot over. Move over a scoatch?"

Ok, "Boot-Scootin' Boogie" aside,,,,,

That makes me think of ponies--pony trot--and then the way they say that some ponies, "clip the daisies" when they trot. I always like that expression!

Clippin' the comets,

For your scootches and squiggles I would use budge up. Budge up a bit -- make some room to fit me in as well.

Slouches. A powerful word in this poem...

And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,
Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?


The Second Coming - W.B. Yeats
