There's a legend that the old expression "23 Skidoo" originated near the Flatiron Building at 23rd St and Broadway/Fifth Avenue in the early 1900s. The story, as it goes, is that groups of young men would gather to watch women walking by have their skirts blown up, revealing legs, which were seldom seen publicly at that time. The police, so the legend goes, would tell the men to skedaddle by saying "Twenty-three skidoo!"
