hit the ground running

Finding yourself in a situation that is fast-paced, and physically overwhelming. Often that feeling is heighted by a sense of mass confusion, and personal ineptness. Term was first coined to describe the "D-Day" invasion of World War 2. When Allied ships inflitrated Nazi shores, and infantry troops literally had to "hit the ground running", to keep from getting shot.

"I started my new job today. It was so busy, I had to hit the ground running, and had no time to get any training in."

wayward son

Any individual who thinks for themselves, and laughs in the face of authority. Someone who goes against the grain in several aspects of their life, and is publically chastised for doing so. A person who refuses to bend to the conventions of society. A natural born leader. Unconventional in their wisdom, and accutely aware of their surroundings at all times. Often alienated for being so.

"The Motorcycle Boy, in SE Hinton's novel 'Rumble Fish', was definitely a wayward son."

garage racing

all about the beave

A person who's primary goal in life, is to have as much sex with the female gender, as humanly possible. Perpetually unattached romantically, they care nothing for the notion of descretion. Completely uninhibited in their behaviour, they will fornicate anywhere, with anyone, at anytime. Often are either revered, or despised for their qualities.

"He's a nice guy. But don't expect any type of relationship from him. Because he's all about the beave."
