There are certain words and phrases uttered by mostly adolescents and 20-somethings that I hear or read (at this site, among others) that seem like they are made up out of thin air; "skype" is one. Please educate this middle-aged dork!

Skype (pronounced /skaɪp/) is a software application that allows users to make voice calls over the Internet. Calls to other users within the Skype service are free, while calls to both traditional landline telephones and mobile phones can be made for a fee using a debit-based user account system. Skype has also become popular for its additional features which include instant messaging, file transfer, and video conferencing.
