Always The Books With Me!
Does anyone else use the word "book" or "booking" to mean "fast"? For instance, I often say stuff like, "I really need to book it!" ("I really need to get moving!") or "That car is really booking!" ("That car is going really fast!"). No dictionary seems to have that as even a slang definition for "book" and I'm wondering if it's just some bizarre lexicographical quirk of mine, a Delaware Valley dialect usage, or whatever.

Canadians are familiar with this term! I know I have used it on several occasions.
It's really disturbing that the dictionary won't consider it a definition, and yet "bootylicious" is a perfectly acceptable term.
