23 Skidoo

Here's something I learned in the middle of a cornfield today (confirmed by the interweb when I got home).

From the Wikipedia entry on the Flatiron Building,

"The building also helped coin the phrase "23 skidoo" or scram, from what cops would shout at men who tried to get glimpses of women's dresses being blown up by the winds created by the triangular building."
