Skate

Blend of Sawyer +‎ Kate.

Skate

1. (fandom slang) The ship of characters James "Sawyer" Ford and Kate Austen from the television series Lost.
   • 2010, Robert Dougherty, Lost: It Only Ends Once: An Unofficial Last Look, page 294:

     But 'Skate' fans ended the series quite disappointed in him, as it seems that even after leaving with Kate, they couldn't be together.

   • 2010, Nikki Stafford, Finding Lost, Season Six, unnumbered page:

     (I've never subscribed to either of the Kate ships on the show, but even I was almost a Skate convert in that moment.)

   • 2015, James O'Ehley, Erin Willard, editors, The Take2 Guide to Lost: The Ultimate Compendium, unnumbered page:

     And while, as a Skate fan, I have to admit I was a bit disappointed that my side of the love square ultimately didn't win out (Sawyer ended up with Juliet, Jack ended up with Kate), I have to say I adored this small scene between my couple!
