Of the three meanings I gleaned from Wikipedia, I assume Gracie is referring to the first. However, not knowing the meaning of manga and anime, there is a remote possibility she is referring to number two. I ruled out number three as if it were that Gracie would have posted in the political forum.
I ruled out number four totally. Fewer adjoining villages in India would have little effect on our economy.
Get my meaning? I don't.


SKU is a three-letter acronym that may stand for:
Stock-keeping unit
Shoujo Kakumei Utena, a Japanese manga and anime
Sveriges Kommunistiska Ungdomsförbund, Young Communist League of Sweden
Sku may also refer to Skiu-Kaya, adjoining villages in India
Well we all get use to using work speak after a few years in the same biz. I am forever asking my hubby to define his engineering acronyms.

Retail has it's own lingo. At least neither Gracie or I used :
ROI Return on investment
EBIT Earnings before interest and taxes
open to Buy Amount of money you can spend on stock
Turn the number of times a business cycle an item has to be replenished
SPF Sales per square foot
EPF Earnings per square foot (takes into account overhead)
