The correct spelling is shoo-in, usually with a hyphen. It has been known in that spelling and with the meaning of a certain winner from the 1930s. It came from horse racing, where a shoo-in was the winner of a rigged race.
In turn that seems to have come from the verb shoo, meaning to drive a person or an animal in a given direction by making noises or gestures
These day's the term is associated with short odd's favourites in any sport

Get the Shoo virgin mug.What you sat according to The Howard Stern show if the flu calls you up on the phone, so you don't get it, and instead, it dies.
The flu called Beth O but luckily Artie Lange grabbed the phone and said "Shoo shoo retarded flu" and the flu went far away.
That's great, but what was Artie doing with Beth O anyways?
Um...er...uh...well....Preventing her from getting the flu, and you should be damn well grateful for that!
