EN: at full speed; hastily
This is the ultimate "GTFO" move. It’s not just walking away, it’s not just running, it’s *disappearing* in a puff of smoke. Imagine a cat that hears a cucumber fall, or you when your toxic boss is walking towards your desk. You don't just leave, you `patalilis`. It’s a sudden, panicked, high-speed escape.
The root `talilis` itself means to flee or escape quickly.
Often describes a manner of fleeing or escaping. The verb form is 'tumalilis'.
