Ambulatory locomotion of the recipient of the bum's rush, involuntarily emulating a Flamenco dancer by dint of being simultaneously propelled forward and elevated at the seat of one's pants with one hand, and the scruff of one's neck with another. The expression recalls the supposed "custom of pirates, in the Spanish Main, of forcing prisoners wo walk while holding them by the neck so that their toes barely touched the deck." (Robert L. Chapman)
...and every Thursday night the hotel has a bloody cabaret in the bar, featuring a tiny emaciated dago with nine-inch hips and some bloated fat tart with her hair brylcreemed down and a big arse presenting Flamenco for Foreigners.

Salesmen's motivational acronym for "Always Be Closing", the traditional slogan that emphasizes the need to be continually moving the customer towards agreement and action within sales discussions.
(Blake flips over a blackboard which has two sets of letters on it: ABC, and AIDA.)
Blake: A.B.C. A-always, B-be, C-closing. Always be closing! Always be closing! A.I.D.A. Attention, Interest, Decision, Action. Attention -- do I have your attention? Interest -- are you interested? I know you are because it's fuck or walk. You close or you hit the bricks! Decision -- have you made your decision for Christ?!! And action. A.I.D.A. Get out there! You got the prospects coming in; you think they came in to get out of the rain? Guy doesn't walk on the lot unless he wants to buy. Sitting out there waiting to give you their money! Are you gonna take it? Are you man enough to take it?

I started doing Enjo Kosai my second year of high school. On most of my dates, I had sex. That's the weirdest thing I've ever done—meeting someone for the first time and screwing him the same day.
