smash and dash

Hit then run

Smash and dash describes a hit-and-run approach—committing an act quickly and leaving before consequences arrive.

It often refers to a robbery where someone breaks into a vehicle or display case and flees immediately: The thieves did a smash and dash on the jewelry store.

It also describes casual sex with no intention of further contact, similar to "hit it and quit it."
