    For those wondering it appears to not be a real word.

      Hm. That changes the joke significantly.

      Such a shame. Because it’s so pronounceable. Sounds more like an element than a verb though.

        as a word, you could argue

        ad vivium

        means “from the life” (latin) - as in “I painted this portrait from the live model rather than my imagination”

        skar

        from the Celtic for “shadow”

        so it’d be “shadow life” (a hidden life? or a life not worth living?)

    “Skavivium” is just a terrible ska band, aka a typical ska band

      I’mma upvote, because you made me chortle, but you’re wrong. Ska is the peak of musical perfection.

        Collared flame shirts, chokers with a bell on them, and checkered knee high socks, what more could you want (other than some mozzarella sticks)

            I literally heard the horn section from super bad when I read your comment.

            Ska was sick bruh. I’d go right back.

        I’m a big fan of Behind the Bastards but Robert Evans is dead fucking wrong about ska. He thinks it’s a brilliant genre when really it’s just generic rock songs being ruined by horns

      There might be terrible ska bands, but they still make great music.

    I have a wonderful scrabble-type game on my phone and iPad called Classic Words…I feel so dumb playing a game sometimes! I’m fairly well-spoken, but my vocabulary is not as great as I believed it was. Sometimes it feels like the AI opponent is Skavivium’ing me.
