"continue" might be the worst-named keyword in python. Like, consider this code:

for i in range(100):
    if i % 5 == 0:
        continue
    print(i)

It prints out numbers that are not multiples of 5. But if you give it to someone who is not experienced in python, they might think the exact opposite!

Grok suggested the following (in that order of relevance): 1. skip 2. bypass 3. next 4. ignore 5. passover 

skip and next are the most intuitive imo.

i’d say skip, them ignore, passover then next.

Simply because unlike continue or next that on the surface points out you’re moving to the subsequent iteration, the others like skip, ignore point out that you’re doing something to the current iteration that satisfies the condition.
