Green Room
A room that performers wait in before they go on stage.
It is usually a small room that has a couch and is close to the stage. It is very rarely painted green!
I was a stage hand for 6 years and they told me the term "green room" came form the days of yore: The Shakespearian actors waited in a room full of green plants before they went on stage--thus the term " green room."
It also may be from the new or "green" performers waiting there before going on stage.

Goober
A fool or nerd that acts worse than a Gomer.
Probably from the Andy Griffith TV series because Goober was dumber than Gomer; and he wore a dumb hat like Jughead from the Archies comics.
I would much rather be called a Gomer than a Goober!

23 skidoo
To leave quickly:
I heard it came from the cops in the early 20th Century-probably the 1920s-chasing the hookers off of 23rd Street in New York City and not catching them, thus the hookers gave the cops the "23 skidoo."
