It is used in British English to mean having little or no money, often due to having spent all of it or experiencing financial difficulties. People typically say "I'm skint until payday" or "Can't go out tonight, I'm absolutely skint." The term originated in early 20th century British slang, possibly from the phrase "skinned" as in "skinned of cash," and remains common across the UK in casual conversation.
