I've found skype to be quite bad for basic text messaging - often messages get lost or appear after ones sent later. It played a funny trick on me today so I've decided to call an occurrence of such a kind a "skypo". I googled the word later to find out that you'd already claimed the invention, which doesn't make me less proud :) Yet I recognize you as the discoverer of "skypo", but may be you can add a 4th meaning to the word.
Cheers.

I coined skypo today; I'm equally proud of it, I think it's a great word; but surely it should just mean a typo in a skype message? that's the only way it's going to catch on. Anyway, congratulations for originating it, and let's get into the OED asap.
