Pronunciation: [skˈɪduːz] (IPA) 
The word "skiddoos" is often misspelled as "skadoosh" or "skidoosh." However, the correct spelling includes three O's. In phonetic transcription, it is pronounced as /skɪˈduːz/. The double "o" represents a long "oo" sound, while the "d" and "s" create a harsh, sudden stop at the end of the word. This slang term is used to express enthusiasm or excitement, often used in response to a successful achievement or impressive display.
The word "skiddoos" is a colloquial variant spelling of "skedaddle", which means to leave hastily or abruptly. While "skiddoos" is not as commonly used as "skedaddle", it has the same meaning.
The etymology of "skedaddle" is a bit uncertain, but it is believed to have originated in the United States during the 19th century. It is thought to be a blend of Scottish dialects and English, with influences from the words "skit" (meaning to move quickly) and "addle" (meaning to make confused or muddled). The exact formation and adoption of "skedaddle" into American English is not well-documented, but it became popular during the American Civil War era, especially among soldiers.
