skidoo
Beat it, slangily
Skidoo is a dated slang term meaning to leave quickly or depart, often used as an imperative: Let's skidoo before they notice we're gone.
The word appears in the early 20th-century catchphrase "twenty-three skidoo," expressing dismissal or a hasty exit.
Now rarely used except for nostalgic or humorous effect.
