Skit \Skit\, n.
   1. A reflection; a jeer or gibe; a sally; a brief satire; a
      squib. --Tooke.

            A similar vein satire upon the emptiness of writers
            is given in his ``Tritical Essay upon the Faculties
            of the Human Mind;'' but that is a mere skit
            compared with this strange performance. --Leslie
                                                  Stephen.
