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".

really? i didn't know. i mean, in the UK we've got 'quid'....but i've never heard of 'scrid'....but then i'm not from scotland.

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

SCRIDS = THE CRUMBS LEFT IN YOUR BAG OF POT AHT WON'T QUITE BE ENOUGH TO GET YOU STONED ONE MORE TIME.

SCRID = SINGULAR OF SCRIDS.

EX: "hey, man, you got a bowlpack?"

"naw, man...I just got scrids left."

Scrids: A tropical disease, caught by eating food that was prepared by unwashed hands.  Like having the runs, only worse.

"Whats wrong with him doctor?"

"It seems he has a rather serious case of the scrids".

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.
