Subject: Re: skell



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.
