skooch
Move a bit
Skooch means to move over slightly, usually to make room for someone else: Skooch over so I can sit down.
It can also mean to move something a small distance: Skooch the table a little to the left.
The word is informal and often implies a minor, cooperative adjustment rather than a significant shift.
Also spelled scootch or scooch.
