running on christmas spirit

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."

Running your rackett

How you or someone you know goes through their well rehearsed,predictable set of behaviors and or reactions towards a specific occurance in the daily act of existing instead of owning up to the responsibility of their actions.

Kevin is late for class usually every day; finally the teacher just confronted him saying "just give it up already, you keep running your rackett on me hoping to smooth over the consequences of your tardiness" its NOT working dude!!

Teacher: Okay, its only the third day this week you have been late to class but its only Wednesday !
Kevin: Yeah, sorry, my car wouldn't start this morning.

Teacher on Thursday: You missed the quiz this morning on the skeletal muscles...
Kevin: You wouldnt believe it but I went out to my car and I had a flat tire

running full-out

To run like Britney Spears (presumably when she was attractive) while being Neil Peart.

“Oh my god! He runs faster than Britney Spears! And she was running full-out!” - Originally uttered by an anonymous elderly female security worker for a Rush concert. This version of the quote is the one told by Mr. Neil Peart during an interview after some show, or something.

Mid run crisis

Where you start running but soon realise you can't run as far as you think so you quickly slow back down to a walk and forget about running at all.

running on impulse engines

In the original Star Trek series, whenever the main engines (warp drive) broke down (which was pretty frequent) the Enterprise would only be able to move using "impulse engines" - a low power, sub-lightspeed manouvering system based on a small fusion ram/ion drive.

By inference, someone described as "running on impilse engines" or "impulse power only" is either:

1. Very tired (a.k.a. 'running on empty')

2. Genuinely ill

3. (derog.) Slow and/or stupid.

"Jesus, I've just had to brief the sales guys on the new product.... they're all running on impulse engies up there".

"You want to go for a beer ?"

"No, man, I'm running on impulse engines... got to go home and grab some sleep."
