Thanks for this article on scrooch and scooch. I found it very intriguing. I just learned some new words. Another thing I noticed however, is that in my area of the South…in Mississippi I have never heard anyone say “scrooch” or “scooch”. If I hear anything it will be “scoot”. This is obviously a deformation of the normal words. For example, if you want someone to move over on the seat…we just say “scoot over!”
