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.
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."
Archaic, early 20th century reference to Flatiron Building at the intersection of 23rd. Street , Fifth Avenue and Broadway in Manhattan NY.
The north facing corner of the triangular Flatiron Bldg. caused flapper skirts to blow upward as wind gusts were sheared at the north facing corner facade revealing , rather indelicately their undergarments...girls in the know , knew “at Twenty-third Street, hold down your hems and SKIDOO‼️(perhaps this gave rise to the vagrant loitering noted in other entries❓)
Girls in the know knew..... “at Broadway -Fifth & Flatiron , hold down your skirt hems, 23SKIDOO‼️“
And dying in yo' bed many years from now, would ya be willing ta trade all da days from dis here day ta dat fo' one chance, just one chance, ta come back here as young men an' tell our enemies dat dey may take our lives but dey will never take our freedom ... YUB NUB!
The Bar came before the movie. It is an awesome bar where the girls know how to party and make you feel okay about giving up your money, drawers, bras, and dignity.
