The grandaddy of popular American slang
23 skidoo meaning to leave advantageously or to be bum rushed out depending on how it was used
oh and probably (although I use the phrase) bum rush which means to be thrown out from around 1910 apparently the phrase received a revival in the 1980s and came to mean to be slammed into a fence, wall or other surface by someone taking a run at you
Oh and one more, shrive, it means to forgive sins or obtain forgiveness by confession
the past tense is used still today, shrove, as in shrove Tuesday for lent (aka Mardi Gras)
