skrrt

What does skrrt mean?

The sound a car makes when you mash the gas — used as an ad-lib to punctuate a bar, signal you're rolling out, or just for flavour.

"Pulled up to the lot, skrrt skrrt, hopped out clean."

Origin

Onomatopoeia for tires peeling off. Migos and the broader ATL trap field turned it into a signature ad-lib around 2013–2016 — by the time Kanye stuck it in 'Father Stretch My Hands' it was already universal.
