Running the cutter

Australian-New Zealand in origin meaning to go up to the pub and bring beer back. Often to do with mining or farming or a rural/industrial setting where a group of workers would have a drink together after knock off time. A Cutter is a Billy can and each bloke would have his own. If a flagon or beer could be brought, each man’s cutter could be filled and the beer shared. Running the cutter was to send someone on an errand to fetch beer for sharing amongst the thirsty workers at the end of a shift

butter runs

Roughly 6 hours after eating at a restaurant that cooks with excessive amounts of butter, you wake up with pain and cold sweats, thus having to penguin walk to the toilet so as not soil the bed, and then cracking the porcelain. Think Harry Dunn from 'Dumb and Dumber' turbolax scene.
Holy hell, I had the butter runs in the middle of the night after eating at that hibachi restaurant. I feel sorry for the toilet.

Casanova and Don Juan were infamous as expert "hit on and run" dandies --- Don Juan had so many flings, in fact, that when presented with a number of his former lady-friends in the afterlife, he could not even remember the names of any of them.
