"Going fast" phrases

Leo · Post by **Leo** » Sun Feb 13, 2005 2:34 pm

Fellas,

Myself and a friend [chrisbr68] have been trying to come up with as many phrases as we can for driving fast, there's way more than I'd thought!

- Rag
- Cane
- Hoon
- Beans ("give it some beans", "give it a beaning")
- Blat
- Right foot ("give it some right foot)
- Footing
- Shoeing
- Pressing on
- Making progress
- Stretching its legs
- Blow out the cobwebs
- Burn it
- Hoof ("Giving it a hoofing")
- Pasting
- Stirring stick (as in gear lever)
- Open the taps
- Give it some welly
- Spoon it
- Large ("He's larging it", "He's going large")
- Tw*t ("He's going like a tw*t", "I came down the hill like a tw*t")
- Italian tuneup (got that from george_chick!)
- Getting some milk (when you take a long fast route to the very local shop, just for the sake of a drive)
- Drive it like you stole/rented it

That's it for now, please feel free to add more

- Threading the needle

- burning rubber
- pedal to the metal
- drive it like Leo

I like how they all conjour up different things- threading the needle suggests some naughty motorway driving, stirring the stick suggests a bit of racing etc

So no ones ever 'rinsed' it?!

sounds like something for the mazda mx5 owning hairdressers!!!

of course we've all 'bombed' it aswell.

Think my favourite though is burned it "burned it to swindon, then had to burn it all the way back again lol"
