foot in your hand

An expression coming from the Gullah dialect, meaning to run as fast as you can.

When the cops are on your ass, you better run with your foot in your hand!

Steve: How come Stephanie didn't win the race?
Mark: Because she didn't run with her foot in her hand.

take your foot in your hand

Used in the "Gullah Gullah Island" theme song, it means hurry up.

"Just take your foot in your hand. That means hurry up, don't miss the good things that we plan."
