scooting

Sliding along fast

Scooting is moving quickly or hurriedly, often with a sense of sliding or shuffling: I'm scooting out early today, She scooted across the bench to make room.

The word suggests informal, low-effort movement.

When dogs scoot, they drag their rear ends along the ground—usually a sign of irritation or parasites.
