hightail
To run at great speed away from something.
To flea or to immediately vacate an area in the opposite direction without regard to barrier or obstacle and in all cases continue to vacate until perhaps lost, and most definitely until one is out of all possible sight and vicinity of the area or activity that one is trying to vacate from, releasing excrement while in the process of hightail ('hightailing', or 'hightailing it').
The cause for ceasing the activity of hightail ('hightailing' or 'hightailing it') is physical exhaustion.
