a) to quickly install your missile/anti-aircraft/anti-tank launchers, fire into enemy territory, and then, just as quickly, remove your rocket launcher, way before the enemy has a chance to retaliate.
b) to shoot your load inside your girlfriend and then suddenly dump her when you find out she is carrying a bun in the oven, simply not pay child support.
c) get your mistress pregnant, then dump her, but still pay child support, and continue living with your wife
if you are going to shoot and scoot, do not underestimate your opponent, especially definition b), when your girlfriend can actually take you to court for child support or simply do you what Lorenna Bobbit did to her husband
A sick maneuver attempted by those playing Gears of War, in which the player goes into a run, gets right up next to their opponent, then pulls the trigger with shotty. Guaranteed to blow them into pieces every time.
*note:
often cooler when you dive backwards after performing a scoot 'n shoot
Haha I've scoot 'n shoot'd that PlayinPro2121 kid3 rounds in a row!
In the Xbox 360 video game Gears of War, this describes the act of going into the Rhody Run (hold A and you run faster and are followed by a shaky cam) with your shotgun out until your right in front of an enemy, at which point while still in the run, effectively blowing him into chunks. It's super awesome.
"Oh dude you just owned Poindexter666 with that scoot and shoot! You ran right at him and he missed. What a noob!"
