ENGLISH?

[Perikles]

To dash = to go without having time to stop
To dash out
To shoot out

e.g.
I can't stop now, I have to dash out.
When the police arrived, he dashed out of the back door.

[pjt33]

Hay un montón de maneras de decirlo.

He blew past like a hurricane.
He was running like the wind.

etc. Pero me parece que lo más inglés, puesto que estamos dispuestos a contraexagerar (voy inventando palabras), sería

He was in a bit of a hurry.

There are others:

to dart out
to fly by
to blow by
to flash by
to tear through

[hermit]

In North American English one hears something like: "Can't stop just now,
got to give you 'the high hat'."

Picture a guy briefly raising his hat as he dashes past.
