“Skippy” is a malformation of “Skipper”, meaning Captain (As in, a ship captain, navy rank)
It also saw use in the expression “[Dang] Skippy” (as cygwulf pointed out) which was used to express approval, similarly to a sharp whistle or a “Woah”. But ultimately the expression references the “Skipper/Captain” nickname, as it functionally translates to “Impressive Captain.”
Most times around it you hear it as a diminutive or a dismissive or a perjorative, or a prelude to an asskicking…
As in “Listen here Skippy…” with the conversation going rapidly downhill after that.
Sort of the way “Scooter” is sometimes used in other areas.
He’s pretty energetic for a ghost, isn’t he? ^_^
But yeah, unfortunately I do have to agree, that sort of thing would wear even on the patient of a saint.
(Let alone a bunch of snooty elves.)

He’s a real punkergeist.
All right, our spirit does, indeed, appear to be a radical jerk. However unpleasant elves are.
They deserve each other.
Seems like a real circus alright. No wonder the elves wanted to keep it in the family.
Explains why there are hardly any food vendors. They don’t want to provide more ammo.
…Do they REALLY need the artifact? Because it looks like the ghost is using it for a truly noble purpose and it would be a shame to stop him.
Alas, yes. The afterlife is being torn asunder as we speak, and those rifts aren’t closing on their own.
Our ghost appears to be enjoying the World As It Is and therefore should be willing to forego use of the artifact to preserve it.
That would require a certain level of trust in the words of a bunch of squares who are harshing Skippy’s groove.
Are you calling Cube a square?
Whatever he DOES do, that’s what he SHOULD do.
That kind of cooperation’s not very radical.
“Skippy”
Is that some radical 90s slang that I’m not recognising? Or has our ghost signed tagged a building with his name?
I remember hearing it in the context of ‘[Dang] Skippy’ as a form of agreement.

And on top of it all, he’s an underwear thief.
Oh, he’s just playing Jet Ghost Radio.
It’s starting to smell like teen spirit in here.
Anyone else read that “Dork” in Kathleen Barr’s voice?
Okay, so it’s less ‘erosion over time’ and more ‘belt sander’, but it wore the pointy-eared prats down, so it still counts!
Is it wrong that I want to wear Rue-Lilly down as well… uWu…

Interesting that the underthings tend towards pink while the outerwear’s green
No you can’t Mimic, your eye’s closed.
i love that the passage of the ghost seem to be based on the ’90s jazz design: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jazz_(design)
You used ‘deface’ a bunch of times…
“I like defacing things” 🙂
