Idiom: I hoofed it!

In the previous post we talked about commuting. A not so much said idiom I heard on the Freakonomics podcast about commuting the host said "I hoofed it." in regards to how he went to work that day.

A hoof - a foot of a four legged animal; some animals with hooves include a horse, pig, sheep, camel, giraffe.

to hoof it = to walk

Normally we will say:

I walked to school today.
I went to went to work by foot.

With the idiom:

I hoofed it to school today.
I went to work by hoof. This one we don't say.

To hoof it almost implies a quick walking, not jogging but not just walking.
