    A ‘smattering’ is a small amount of something. You’ve described a huge small amount.

        Ah “skosh”…I’m not sure I’ve ever seen it in writing, but my first mentor at my first career job used it all the time. Every amount of distance under a foot (in a structural discipline) was a skosh of some sort.

        Just a bit of a skosh, a slight skosh…a good healthy skosh…

        Brought back a good memory there.

          Fun fact, “skosh” comes from the occupation of Japan after WWII, from Japanese “sukoshi” ‘a little bit’.
