Oliss!!

So I think I picked this phrase up from a grammar book, and I really don't know what it means. It seems like somthing you would say to someone who is always "on the go." If anyone could assure me of this suspicion, and use it in some different forms (as in, past, something other than tú) or situations (or give it one since I am giving absolutely no context with it), that would be amazing.

Chaus!

I have never heard that phrase but it means something like " you are always on the move " or " you are always on the go" (as you said) or "you are always in a rush/hurry"

you could also say .....

-siempre vas a toda prisa/leche (tu)
-siempre vamos a toda prisa/leche(nosotros)

Etc....

Hope this helps!!!

It refers more to being in a rush, but with slightly pejorative connotations. Someone who's always on the go is "como una moto" in colloquial terms, again with negative overtones.

N.B. Be very careful with your use of the reflexive when using the expression you mention - "correr" can quickly become a socially explosive verb!
