Where did the term "Skippy" come from?

[Tim Hicks (Texas)]

I used to call Bucks a skippy 20 years ago when he appraised here in Texas until they ran him out. I guess he felt he needed to spread the glory.

I never understood why skippy is so wildly popular on the forum. Bucks has come up with funnier stuff such as "goat ropers, brush poppers and high-heeled-doctors-wives-in-gold-jackets."

"Where is Hopland" was much, much funnier.

Who was it that said, "Otis has to staple his reports with railroad spikes to hold all his addenda?" Now, that was funny.

I liked the stories about Boom Boom Bonnie, the real-it-ore.
