Subj: ? DITKA & SKIPPIES



A marketing student asked us what the acronyms "DITKA" and "SKIPPIES"

meant -- he thought they were in the same category as DINK (double

income no kids). We've checked current dictionaries, & slang &

acronym dictionaries, Infotrac, Alta Vista & Yahoo & a few others. We

tried our full-text Chicago Tribune index for 1995 & 1996 too. We

don't have access to Nexis/Lexis. Has anyone heard of these? Thank

you! Marty Quinn, Evanston Public Library. quinn[AT SYMBOL GOES HERE]evanston.lib.il.us
