I found myself using this word this morning when Alison asked me why I seemed to be reading a different manual or getting started guide about the ibook every time she saw me. "Oh, I'm just skimmy-dipping," I said.
If I have actually coined this new word, I'm really proud of it. Even if I only rediscovered a word someone else has already invented, I'm still pretty pleased with myself. If you like it too, use it! It's free.
