When I watch movie, I see the sentence. Literally, it just means to go somebody's home. But I think it is wear from the context. Maybe someone can tell me what does this sentence means. Thank you for your help.

Schnickelfritz is a term of endearment of German origin meaning "rascal". I would say it's outdated, except among older Germans and perhaps Jews.
