scoot
Shuffle along quickly
Scoot means to move quickly or hurriedly, often with a sense of darting or sliding: We need to scoot or we'll miss the train.
It can also mean to shift position slightly: Scoot over so I can sit down.
A scooter is a small vehicle you propel by scooting—pushing with one foot against the ground.
