I was just curious as to where, when and how it came about?
August 22, 2008 at 1:14 am #10930AnonymousGuestThere are various stories, but the most common I think, is that it’s a contraction of “squashed kid”.
August 22, 2008 at 1:39 am #10931CBennettParticipantLol I always thought it was Squirrelly or Stupid kid…so guess there are quite a few different variations
August 22, 2008 at 2:11 am #10932MikeParticipantI’ve heard it originated in southern CA, but that may be wrong.

Some guy said that the term was coined by paramedics attending the scene of motorcycle accidents.
He said that when they found the accident ravaged bodies (sometimes in pieces), that with the guts hanging out, they looked like squids!
