What does the phrase 23 skidoo mean?

23 comes from English racetrack slang. Only 22 horses allowed at a time to race. So 23 meant "no need to wait". Sliddoo means skedaddle. So it means "no reason to wait, let's get out of here."

Answer 5

23 skidoo (sometimes 23 skiddoo) is an American slang phrase popularized in the early twentieth century, first appearing before World War I and becoming popular in the Roaring Twenties. It generally refers to leaving quickly. One nuance of the phrase suggests being rushed out by someone else. Another is taking advantage of a propitious opportunity to leave, that is, "getting [out] while the getting's good."
