skrrt

Car drift sound

Skrrt is an exclamation imitating the screech of tires, originally from hip-hop music to evoke fast driving or sudden acceleration.

It signals abrupt departure or evasion—literal or figurative: Skrrt, I'm out of here.

The word can express enthusiasm, dismissal, or a quick change of direction: She started talking about her ex and I went skrrt.
