Get the skidadle mug.Skeddadle - to run off or away hurriedly. Also scodaddle
Probable origin: Since both the Irish word “sgedadol,” meaning “scattered,” and the Scottish word ”skiddle,” meaning “to spill or scatter”, have the same meaning as the Greek "scedasis", meaning "scatter", it seems obvious that they both started out as Greek, and thus, that skedaddle is derived from Greek, "skedastikós", meaning, "able to disperse, equivalent to skedast(ós) dispersable" (verbid of skedannýnai to scatter, disperse).
