It's just the mean to the left, and a shift to the right.

Either way, Mr. Whiskers is not amused. He's a grumpy boxplot. (You know, I have to see when that other grumpy cat first appeared.)

It's only skew if the dancer *misses* the pole. But that wouldn't be as funny!
Don't try this at home. Or on the road.

Don't get ''shiggy'' with it.

Lines in Planes

You've been skewered.

Skew lines are neither parallel nor intersecting, occuring in three-dimensional space, not two. Imagine skew lines as an overpass and a roadway passing beneath. They don't intersect, but they're not parallel, and they aren't traveling in the same direction.

Or think of the front-right edge of a shoebox and the top-left edge. They each join two planes, but there isn't a common plane containing both of them.
