faster than a scalded dog


this idiomatic expression can describe any kind of movement, but is especially linked to running. a scalded dog would be moving as quickly as it was capable of doing, and it would be motivated by pain and fear – that combination makes for some serious speed.
when the bandit saw the police coming, he ran faster than a scalded dog.
