Both are very slang for skipping. Very improper though. While I would understand what you mean it’s not very commonly used. Skip’n is almost thug like slang. One would probably not use either unless just ‘chatin’ with friends and not caring about grammar. 😜
One would not say “I’m skippin’ work today” to their boss.

Oh I see! So this is incorrect, I learned it in a funny viral video on youtube, though. BTW what does "thug" mean in your sentence? :) @Lili3131
- English (US)
Yes it’s something you might see on YouTube or where people are playing around. Very slang. You could take the -ing in many words and do the same.
Examples:
I’m just playin’.
Are you messin’ around?
I was hopin’ you’d come over.
Thug as in rapper/gangster. Rap songs tend to abbreviate abbreviations.
