Sorry I didn't return your call, man; I've been ripping and running all day.

running on empty

This is the beginning of depression. When you feel like the world is just out to get you.. nothing is going right in your life, and you're on the verge of insanity or killing yourself. Despite all that, you still go through your daily routine, holding into an ounce of hope that things will be better one day...

Then you're running on empty.

I don't know about you, but I'm running on empty.

running

1) the physical act of, basically, moving your feet in a fast rythmic motion to propel yourself forward at a greater speed than if you were walking or jogging.
2) a sport, wherein people run as a form of athletic activity as opposed to merely another action that a person can take. In other words, they run for the sake of running (or in order to compete with other individuals in an event called a "race.") Some people totally dedicate themselves to this sport, to the point where it is a major part of their lives. Others do it on a fairly regular basis in order to stay in shape, or as part of a training/workout regimen.
Still others run occasionally, when they feel like it.
In order to run well, it helps to have good form (running incorrectly can put stress on your joints and be even more painful), good endurance, patience, and commitment (you don't just give up after 5 seconds, or you'll never get anywhere).

1) He was running through the snow to escape the grizzly bear. Then, he realized this was rather stupid because trying to outrun a grizzly is pretty much pointless. They're too fast.

2) The cross country kids went running after school. Everyone else stared at them funny because it was 25 degrees out and snowing.

300 bars and running

A 15 min. song by The Game that disses G-Unit, Joe Buddens, DJ Whoo Kid, etc.

So I climb the mountain top and put my stake in
Got the weight of the world on my shoulder
Not a nigga nor a hoodrat bitch can stop me from taking it over
This is crack music, go get the baking soda
300 Bars and Running, nigga the wait is over
I'm gone...

running like a Kenyan on speed

Golfing term. When you've totally topped the ball, but it squirts along the ground and goes a bloody mile because of how hard you hit it, your ball is 'running like a Kenyan on speed'.

This derives from the fact that Kenya has a long history of some of the best long distance runners in the world, and the effect that the drug speed has on people.

"You jammy sod, that ball's running like a Kenyan on speed!"

Cool Runnings

Adverb & verb.

1. The title of a well-known 1993 comedy, starring the late John Candy (dir. Jon Turteltaub). The film concerns the first Jamaican bob-sled team. It is loosely based on the true story of the Jamaica national bobsled team's debut in the bobsleigh competition of the 1988 Winter Olympics in Calgary, Alberta.

2. Jamaican patois. The phrase 'cool runnings' literally means, 'go in peace' or, 'safe journey'. A useful salutation at the end of a text message, 'cool runnings' may be considered as a synonym of 'stay black'. Several bona fide sources credit first usage as a salutation in text messages, to the urban legend Leeds Dr Rudeboy.

University Professor: Well Leeds Dr Rudeboy, your recent contribution on the collective oscillation modes of electrons has really set the Physics world talking!

Leeds Dr Rudeboy: What whoa! Me gwan drink some rum! Cool runnings, my brother of color!
