"Stir one's stumps" nghĩa là (giục ai) mau lên, nhanh lên! "Stump" là tiếng lóng chỉ đôi chân.

Ví dụ
Stir your stumps if you want some breakfast, young 'uns. We need to meet shortly.

I've got a job for you! Might amount to something if you stir your stumps and get busy!

We'll need fresh horses first. Kip! Lucifer! Get Hawk and Strider saddled (thắng yên)! Stir your stumps!

Chipper says things like, "Now don't you know how much we all want to see you trip the light fantastic, Mrs.Syverson?" while Pete takes the more direct approach (tiếp cận trực tiếp) of, “Move along, bud, time to stir your stumps.”
