NYPD Blue's on in an hour or so. What you notice is that anyone any
of the four males brings in is a "skel" unless wearing a suit. neither
the kim delany character nor the other, newer female detective bring
in skels, although they do bring in "perps".

one of the fort wayne cops (here) used "skel". when i asked him about
it, he laughed and said he'd gotten it from tv.
