A
phrase meaning to "
pass it by" or not use it.
also a
toy that is a 3 or so
foot long
rope with a
loop on one end and a
ball-like object on the other end. The loop goes around one
ankle and the object is to spin the rope around and "
skip" over the rope. Some versions have
counters on the ball, but
they rarely work or are accurate. The
easiest way to keep going on one of these toys is to just keep walking and
stepping over the
rope as it passes under your foot.
