My wife had some recipe cards from her grandmother that used handful, pinch, etc. for measurement. Took a lot of trial an error and memory of her grandma’s hand to convert the recipe to cups, tablespoons, and teaspoon.
I hadn’t heard “skosh”, but I’ve often heard “skoche”, which means anything small, not necessarily in a recipe. Such as “These shoes are just a skoche too tight in the toe”, or “Move the TV a skoche closer,” etc.

My wife has measuring spoons for Pinch, Smidgen, and Dash. I don’t think she’s ever used them.

I have a set of measuring spoons for those amounts, although I’ve never made a recipe that required them.

These days I always buy relaxed jeans with a skosh more room. And a flexible waistband if I can find them!

People who do a lot of cooking know what a teaspoon and a tablespoon look like in their hand, saves time.
