You, like most Americans, probably plan to run for president. You have plenty of time, theoretically; the general election is still 22 months away and even if you plan to seek the nomination of one of the major parties, those don't kick off until January.
Rearing is a common measure of activity and exploratory behavior used in the open field and sometimes in certain mazes. Nothing else. But I agree it could be related to very specific behaviors. I like the idea of escape.
(Redirected from Rear guard) A rearguard is that part of a military force that protects it from attack from the rear, either during an advance or withdrawal. The term can also be used to describe forces protecting lines, such as communication lines, behind an army. Even more generally, a rearguard action may refer idiomatically to an attempt at preventing something though it is likely too late to be prevented; this idiomatic meaning may apply in either a military or non-military context.
