What's 23 Ski Doo mean? Back in the Roaring Twenties there were a lot of expressions like, "I love my wife. But oh you kid." 23 was a magical number and skidoo meant to leave someplace quickly... like in a flash.So when someone left a place they would say "23 Skidoo instead of "Good bye, See you later or So long." As to how magical the number 23 was? It was probably better than 13.
