You're very kind. Thank you. In this particular case it wouldn't be suitable because it's to be a little birthday present for someone who is a Damon Runyon (almost) fanatic.

That’s the first citation of it that the Oxford English Dictionary has. Green’s Dictionary of Slang reaches back a bit further in related senses. There’s a 1958 use of it to mean ‘nonsense’, and there’s a 1951 use of “skam” to mean ‘scheme’. There’s even a Damon Runyon use of “scamus” in 1944. 7/21

My favorite genre is "Code-era smut" because they put the dirtiest things in these movies (like Gary Cooper insinuating he's too down bad to be gentle with Barbara Stanwyck) but they make it sweet by pretending the film is just a cute lil Damon Runyon meets Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs fairy tale
