like a headless chicken

    0.03 sec.
like a headless chicken  (British) also like a chicken with its head cut off (American)
if you do something like a headless chicken, you do it very quickly and without thinking carefully about what you are doing (usually in continuous tenses) I've got so much work to do - I've been running around like a headless chicken all week. He was racing around like a chicken with its head cut off trying to do the work of two people.
