"23 skidoo" is a slang phrase that originated in the early 20th century in the United States. The exact origin of the phrase is unclear, but it was commonly used in the 1920s and 1930s to mean "to make a quick exit" or "to leave rapidly." It was also sometimes used to refer to a person who was swift or agile.
The phrase became associated with the Roaring Twenties and the jazz age, when young people would often gather in public places to dance, socialize, and have fun. When it was time to leave, someone might yell "23 skidoo!" to signal that it was time to go.
In later years, the phrase has been used in various ways, including as the name of a clothing brand and as a reference in popular culture.
