What does SKIDOO mean in Scrabble?
verb
slanginformal
To leave quickly; also a motorised sledge on skis and tracks, sold as a trademarked snowmobile.
As an old slang verb, skidoo was a cheerful order to go away, and it reached its peak in the phrase twenty-three skidoo during the early twentieth century. It is probably a variation on skedaddle. In Canada and the north the word is also used, often with a capital letter, for a snowmobile of that brand, and speakers there may say they skidoo across a frozen lake. The older use now sounds playful and dated.
