Skate as footwear comes in two main varieties for different surfaces: 'ice skates' for ice and 'roller skates' for ground.

Two Varieties

'Skate' in this sense often relates to sports like figure skating or roller derby.

Sport Specific

Mentioning 'skates' usually suggests an activity requiring safety gear like helmets or pads.

Gear Association

To 'skate' is to move smoothly and often quickly, like gliding without effort.

Smooth Movement

While 'skating' generally implies being on ice, it can also mean using roller or inline skates.

Not Just Ice

'Skate' refers to a particular type of fish, not to be confused with similar flatfish like rays.

Distinct Fish

As seafood, 'skate' is known for its wing-like fins, which are eaten as 'skate wings'.

Culinary Term

Using 'skate' in this context means avoiding responsibilities or issues, often in a sneaky way.
