Road Runner
Swift blue bird
Road Runner is a cartoon character—a speedy, beeping bird perpetually chased by Wile E.
Coyote in Looney Tunes shorts.
The bird always escapes through impossible physics while the coyote's elaborate traps backfire spectacularly.
The character has become shorthand for effortless evasion or comic futility: He's like the Road Runner—you'll never catch him. (Lowercase roadrunner is the actual desert bird.)
