rattle your dags: hurry up; get a move on. And from Jeff Law...The expression 'Rattle your dags' reputedly refers to a somewhat mucky sheep 'rattling it's dags (dried excretia hanging from the wool)' when running!
Yup, we actually do say that. I even knew where the expression came from. Though it only strikes me as funny now :-)
