91 91 CharlaXFabels 23Skeedo This is a cliché. That's my name for an old aside or an adage here we go into the world of CharlaXFabels once more gentle reader ewe 23 Skeedo. 23 skidoo (phrase) 23 skidoo is an American phrase popularized in the early twentieth century, first appearing before WWI and becoming popular in the Roaring Twenties. It generally refers to leaving quickly, being forced to leave quickly by someone else or taking advantage of a propitious opportunity to leave, that is, "getting [out] while the getting's good." 23 skidoo has been described as "perhaps the first truly national fad expression and one of the most popular fad expressions to appear in the U.S," to the extent that "Pennants and arm-bands at shore resorts, parks, and county fairs bore either [23] or the word 'Skiddoo.'" The exact origin of the phrase is uncertain. PHRASE. OH. Okay today we learn some old phrasers YOCK YOCK YUCK. All Wet - describes an erroneous idea or individual, as in, "he's all wet." This works better if you can remember the ABBOT bud and Costello lou he said an aweful lot of these phrases as everyday wordage. Abbott: Well Costello, I'm going to New York with you. You know Harris, the Yankee's manager, gave me a job as coach for as long as you're on the team. Costello: Look Abbott, if you're the coach, you must know all the players. Abbott: I certainly do. Costello: Well you know I've never met the guys. So you'll have to tell me their names, and then I'll know who's playing on the team. Abbott: Oh, I'll tell you their names, but you know it seems to me they give these ball players now-a-days very peculiar names. Costello: You mean funny names? Abbott: Strange names, pet names...like Dizzy Dean Costello: His brother Daffy. Abbott: Daffy Dean...Costello: And their French cousin. Abbott: French? Costello: Goofè. Abbott: Goofè Dean. Well, let's see, we have on the bags, Who's on first, What's on second, I Don't Know is on third...Costello: That's what I want to find out. Abbott: What? Costello: I said I don't give a darn! Abbott: Oh, that's our shortstop. http://www.baseball-almanac.com/humor4.shtml
