Today's Peanuts comic strip uses the word "shute", which I'd never heard of, in a context where I'd have expected "chute". Shute does not appear in bartleby.com, but does appear in dictionary.com. Is this a british usage? Is it in common use generally, or common use in particular phrases? http://www.snoopy.com/comics/peanuts/archive/peanuts-20020206.html Copy Link to Clipboard Share Post on Facebook Share Post on Twitter Entire Thread Subject Posted By Posted Shoot the shute?
