eat my dust
Racer's boastful farewell
Eat my dust is a taunt directed at someone you're outpacing or leaving behind, originally referring to the literal dust kicked up by a speeding vehicle or runner: See you at the finish line—eat my dust!
The phrase has broadened to any competitive context where you're pulling ahead: Our sales team left the competition eating our dust.
