A phrase meaning to "pass it by" or not use it.

also a toy that is a 3 or so foot long rope with a loop on one end and a ball-like object on the other end. The loop goes around one ankle and the object is to spin the rope around and "skip" over the rope. Some versions have counters on the ball, but they rarely work or are accurate. The easiest way to keep going on one of these toys is to just keep walking and stepping over the rope as it passes under your foot.
