What does ‘skeen’ mean?

Pardon my ignorance, but what does ‘skeen’ mean? I don’t know if I spelt it correctly but I know that I am not trying to write ‘scene’. All of ‘chavvier’ kids use this to insult me. I wonder if anyone has an idea what it means. Does anyone know? :o:

As far as i know it isn't an insult at all. It means:

O.K
I understand
Got you
Oh right.

If it is just a greeting or something, then why do they go square up to me with their gangs and go, "You f***ing skeen!" It seems to be more like an insult in that context but my town is stupid. It might just be a regional or town insult or something. Even worse, it could be the accent changing 'scene' to 'skeen'.

It means
'I understand what you're saying but I don't really care'
