A term used in the early 20th Century for "get lost."
Bums would sleep around 23rd St and when the cops came along they would hit them with their billy clubs and say "23 skidoo."
My grandfather was a cop down there around 1920 and told me how this term came about.
During the 1920's in the United States the social group that came to be known as "flappers" often used this phrase as a means of telling someone to "get lost," or to "scoot."
Flapper Guy: "Hey doll your dreamboat just sailed in..."
Flapper Girl: "23 Skadoo you soda jerk!"
