proper noun

  1. 1

    slangThe ship of characters James "Sawyer" Ford and Kate Austen from the television series Lost.

    But 'Skate' fans ended the series quite disappointed in him, as it seems that even after leaving with Kate, they couldn't be together.

    (I've never subscribed to either of the Kate ships on the show, but even I was almost a Skate convert in that moment.)

    And while, as a Skate fan, I have to admit I was a bit disappointed that my side of the love square ultimately didn't win out (Sawyer ended up with Juliet, Jack ended up with Kate), I have to say I adored this small scene between my couple!

Etymology

Blend of Sawyer + Kate.
