It is used in Scotland to mean away, not present, or off somewhere, often in phrases like "I'm offski" (I'm leaving) or "He's offski to the pub." People typically say "We're offski to the beach" or "She's offski for the weekend." The term originated in late 20th century Scottish slang, part of a trend of adding "-ski" to words for comic effect (e.g., "noski" for nose, "dotski" for dot), and remains common in informal, lighthearted Scottish speech.
