go fast

Pick up speed

Go fast means to move at high speed, whether literally or figuratively: We need to go fast if we're going to make the flight.

In drug slang, go fast (often as one word or hyphenated) refers to methamphetamine or other stimulants that produce wired, energetic highs.

A go-fast boat is a small, powerful vessel used for smuggling.
