Just saw Kung Fu Panda. Po (voiced by Jack Black) uses the exclamation, "Skadoosh!" at a very pivotal point in the story (no plot spoilers here). Google took me to the Language Log, where it turns out... well, if you're interested, you can read it here. In today's Boston Globe it's my honor to pinch-hit for a vacationing Jan Freeman, who writes a fantastic weekly column called "The Word." I took the opportunity to write about a word popularized by the new movie "Kung Fu Panda": skadoosh. Or is it skidoosh? Or maybe skedoosh?

an obvious riff on (or ripoff of) squadoosh - joe friday Italian-American slang used to describe something that is missing, absent, or forgotten; zero, nil, nothing That fits the context in which it was used.
