What Does "Skasdi" Mean?

MEANING OF SKASDI

Skasdi | ᏍᎦᏍᏗ | s-ka-s-di
The word “skasdi” is Cherokee slang. It’s a playful word that represents pride, impressiveness, awesomeness, fierceness or feistiness, which can all describe many comic book and video game characters represented by artists and cosplayers that participate at comic cons.
