Definitions
Scottish dialect for moving quickly or whizzing past — the kind of fast, breezy movement that leaves a little rush of air behind. Wheech can also mean to flick or snatch something quickly. It's onomatopoeic in spirit, sounding like the thing it describes. In Scottish English it feels natural and expressive in a way that regular words like zoom or rush don't quite capture with the same local flavor.
