I'm speaking to you Ceebeebies. Where I live, skitters is another word for diarrhoea. Nice. Shitty the Squirrel.

I also call it skitters plus my dd's really did do it upstairs today (on my other thread)

Did love in one episode of only fools and horses when del boy called it the "two bob bits" Grin

Call is quits = all square, not squits.

Skitters really does mean something that creeps along in a jaggedy fashion. I have never hear of it used to describe the squits. Confused

The only true name of course is 'tree rat' or 'rat with exceedingly good PR considering'. Hmm Grin
