re: #975 yma o hyd

Don’t know much about Irish slang at all - so I’ve never come across that expression.

I don’t suppose it might be a typo, and it was meant to be ‘a skip of a bar’?
Skips are where people deposit their rubbish in, for collection - so calling a place a skip is pretty derogatory. And that is being used …

Kip (n): a dump or a dive
