scrid?
i heard this word in a dream last night. if possible, please identify....failing that, create amusing & original definition.

i would be really pleased if we can convince other people that this word is in common usage and that they're simply not very 'with it' for not knowing.

maybe 6 months from now, someone will claim to have invented it or cite some preposterous etymology.

"Scrid" is Scottish slang for a unit of currency, similar to our "buck".

if you visit the bar, scrid is the game that me & LMNO are playing in our new socks.

I wasn't making that up. That's been a commonly used slang term since I was a kid.

A scrid is the noise made when a Hard-Disk head crashes, erasing all data.

This is only true if the following conditions are met:

1) The hard drive was new
1a) or cost more than 400 dollars.
1b) or was more than 400gb in size.

and

2) The data was irreplacable
2a) Or 322 gigs of pornography.

Note to filmmakers of the future: bad dialog leads to anger, bad directing leads to hatred, shallow action sequences lead to suffering. Farming out a movie to a corporation of computer animators is a path to the dark side of filmmaking.
