Text In this podcast, the phrase "to rush past" means to move past something quickly, without taking the time to look at it or examine it closely: "While most shoppers were rushing past the street musicians, Xena stopped to listen, dance, and then give them some money." The phrase "to rush around" means to do many things very quickly: "They spent the morning rushing around, taking clothes to the dry cleaner, going to the bank, buying groceries, and going to the post office." Finally, the phrase "to rush (something) through" means to make something happen more quickly than it would normally, especially in government offices, departments, or systems: "Usually it takes years to approve a new medicine, but the FDA rushed the vaccine through the process."
