going like the clappers

anything which appears to be going fast or repetitvly.
from either the loose hammers inside churchbells, or an old shrove tuesday custom involving begging by clapping stones together

going like the clappers
running like the clappers

Pray like the clappers

Praying furiously fast and with great earnestness. An Australian expression. In Australia, clappers were bird scarers that ran around like mad things.

My mate had to be rushed to the hospital this morning. Pray like the clappers for him!
