I heard what has to be the strangest phrase to describe something that is fast. I just looked at the dude like: Maybe you guys have heard it before, but I sure haven't.

I was with a friend who was looking at a boat to buy from this one guy. He wanted me to come with him to check it out. So we get there and the seller was describing the boat, how many hours it's been in the water, the accessories it has and etc.

Then the guy was talking about the boat motor, and this is what he said:

"This motor is the kitten pajamas. It hauls biscuits."

I have no idea what that means. But I guess it runs pretty fast in the water.

I've heard "runs like a striped-ass ape", which I think is funny. But, kittens pajamas is a new one.

You guys have any funny ones to contribute?

I have one, but its racist and completely out of line.

"Faster than a scalded dog."

That should be the "cat's" pajamas. I guess he doesn't know his 20s slang.

My brother in law used to say, "Runs like Jack the Bear"

In reference to a more common phrase, Trans-Dapt (a speed parts company) has a striped a$$ ape on there logo.

LOL! That is awesome! 1920's slang?

The dude was in his 50's, so he wasn't like an oldtimer. Maybe something he picked up from his parents.

Thanks for the info. Helps me understand at least where the phrase came from.

That thing goes like a raped ape!

I know this is very un-PC, just things I heard as a kid.
1 Runs like a Corn Cobbed Cat?
2 Faster than a Kerosene'd Cat....# 1 with an after burner.

Has the flight characteristics of a Greased Brick?

Faster than a bad Taco through a colon.

If you ever cleaned a deer after hunting....Not sure about fast, maybe how fast your hand slips off...Jesse Duke from the Dukes of Hazzard once said "Thats slicker than deer guts on a doorknob!"

Theres also the other old standby, "like a bat outta Hell".
