skittles

The universal "code word" used during a conversation to tell everyone to quickly change the subject because someone who should not be included or who should not overhear the conversation is hanging around and/or is approaching.

"Dave's having a party tonight! We should sneak over."
"We should, but don't tell Jessica. She's so lame."
"I know, she's uglier than hell too and-"
*Sees Jessica approaching* "Skittles!"
*Jessica arrives*
"-and those are my favorite candies too! What about you, Jessica, do like skittles?"

"I hate that teacher. He's such a dick."
"Agreed. He thinks he's such a badass and-"
*Sees said teacher approaching* "Skittles."
"-What lovely weather we have today. I hope it doesn't rain."
"Definitely..."
*Teacher passes by*
