jackrabbit start
Quick launch forward
A jackrabbit start is a sudden, rapid acceleration from a standstill, especially when driving—named for the explosive leap of a startled jackrabbit.
The term usually carries negative connotations of recklessness or impatience: He made a jackrabbit start when the light turned green and nearly rear-ended the car ahead.
