Hello. I�ve read that hotfoot is an adverb: can we say? He hotfoot came back when he heard her voice again.
It is also a verb: She hotfooted(?) to visit her mother that afternoon.
But I have read these sentences and I cannot understand the meaning, is hotfoot used as a noun:?

[FONT='Arial','sans-serif']A fire services study highlighting areas of concern for Hempfield Township and its 12 volunteer fire departments had all the effect of a mediocre hotfoot.[/font]
[FONT='Arial','sans-serif'][FONT='Arial','sans-serif']....the hotshot hotfoot that let the success from 2006 go to his head. [/font][/font]
[FONT='Arial','sans-serif'][FONT='Arial','sans-serif'][/font][/font]
[FONT='Arial','sans-serif'][FONT='Arial','sans-serif']Could anybody help me ? Thanks
