Do any Yiddish speakers know a word that sounds like "lakadavit"?

Asked by LuckyGuy (43697points) October 6th, 2014

The meaning is something like: “Do it! Don’t argue! Just do it – for your own safety!”
This word (or something like it) was spoken 50 + years ago by a friend’s grandmother. It was like a code.

Is this a word? What is the correct pronunciation? How would you translate it?
