Energizer bunnies

Perpetual motion advertisers

Energizer bunnies are people who seem to have inexhaustible energy, who keep going when others tire out.

The term comes from the battery company's advertising mascot—a pink mechanical rabbit that drums continuously, outlasting competitors.

She's like the Energizer bunny, still going strong at midnight.

Often used admiringly, sometimes with a hint of exhaustion at someone else's relentlessness.
