I don't think I agree with this entry's IPA listing (nor audio file.) The "a" in squat is wrong, right? --Connel MacKenzie 17:51, 16 February 2007 (UTC)Reply
- All I can say is, that's how I'd say it, being an English speaker of English English. To pronounce it as in "hot" interrupts the flow of the word, and is more likely to trip up your tongue. 188.29.164.149 11:57, 22 January 2015 (UTC)Reply
- Absolutely. The "squat" portion should remain as it is in the word squat. I came back here to the discussion page specifically to point out this retardation, and was gratified to see that I'm not the only one. It's an American English whimsical word with a root of "squat". Squat like "hat" doesn't fly at all on this side of the Atlantic. Haakondahl (talk) 11:52, 16 May 2019 (UTC)Reply
Sense 2: How can it be intransitive?! Language Lover 04:45, 5 December 2007 (UTC)Reply
- It means the same as "leave", as in "let's leave", "I'm leaving". Doesn't need an object. Though I don't see any difference between "leave" and "abscond" anyway, in this sense. 188.29.164.149 11:57, 22 January 2015 (UTC)Reply
Do you think the increasing popularity of this word, in the few years around 2010, could be anything to do with the Viz character "Raffles the Gentleman Thug"?

No I don't.Reply
