I used to hear this phrase, or something like it, back in the 50’s or 60’s. It wasn’t very common, but once in a while radio djs would say it at the end of their show. Also regular people would say it like “Well, I gotta osmoskapot” when getting ready to leave.
I’ve spelled it phonetically, of course. Could be “aus”, and it sounds vaguely german.
Any ideas? If I put this in GQ, somebody’s gonna yell at me. MPSIMS-ers are much too nice to do that. 
Peace,

I believe the phrase you are looking for is “Nov Schmoz Ka Pop”, and here is a little bit about it:

I seem to remember it being used in the old Smokey Stover comic strip, although the link doesn’t mention it.
That could well be it. I’ll seek out the strip you mention.
Thanks
Oh, you absolutely should. It was a wonderful and goofy strip and I used to love it. Foo!
No, the speaker of “nov schmoz kapop” was a little hitchhiker with a long white beard. He carried a sign with the phrase on it, with a question mark, I think.
The Smokey Stover line you are thinking of was “notary sojac”. And it was a grteat comic, with two-wheeled cars and chairs in the shape of a hand.
Right! Found him.
