AustralianNew Zealandinformal
To boast or brag, especially about one's own abilities or achievements.
Australians and New Zealanders use skite the way British or American speakers might use brag, usually with a hint of mild disapproval toward the boaster. The related noun form also names the person doing the boasting, so someone who loves to skite about golf scores can simply be called a skite. The word carries a folksy, conversational tone rarely seen in formal writing.
