The fact that flight rhymes with fight may be why the term "fight or flight" is used. As clever and useful as it is, it is not factual. Thus,"fight or run away" might be a better way to express that unique state.

Get the fight or run away mug.by S. Scales July 19, 2019
Get the Running over hatchet mug.Acting as if something good will definitely happen, without it happening yet, and then paying for such optimism.
Derived from football, where the wide receiver starts thinking about what he is going to do AFTER the catch, before the ball gets to him. Inevitably the wide receiver drops the ball.

I swore I was going to get an offer from that company I have been interviewing with, so I haven't done any work in days. The job fell through. I was running before the catch.

Get the Run through the spot mug.Two decibels louder/harder than a poes klap #poesklap . A slap administered by running at the recipient to maximise the effect of an open handed slap to the face.

Get the Running fuck slap mug.To drive with the gas light on for such a terrifyingly long amount of time you must be running on the pure belief of children. A reference to the movie Elf.
Person #1: "Dude, you need to stop for gas. You've been running on christmas spirit for almost an hour."
Person #2: "Nah, we're good. You just have to believe as the children do."
Person #1: "whatever, man."
